19 Jun 2023 Articles Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices Trending
There is a business case for employers to prioritise a culture of workplace fairness. When employers cultivate a positive work culture where individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, they stand out as employers of choice and can hire and retain talent more effectively.
In contrast, a lack of workplace fairness can have a negative impact on businesses. A study by the Institute of Adult Learning (IAL) found that employees who experienced misbehaviours or mistreatment in the workplace had higher levels of stress and lower job satisfaction, which in turn affected their commitment levels and work performance.1

Take the new TGFEP module: Understand how well you are aligned with the TGFEP.
The newly added Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices module (TGFEP module), developed in collaboration with the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP), helps employers identify how closely they adhere to the guidelines.
The module comprises of six sections in the TGFEP: general awareness of the TGFEP, recruitment, remuneration, performance appraisals, disciplinary actions, and grievance handling.
This comprehensive set of indicators helps employers to understand how fair the organisation’s employment practices are throughout the employee life cycle, from how prospective employees are selected to whether they have clear recourse in the event of disputes.
You can use the TGFEP module in the FPEIndex to support your organisation with these simple steps:
- Create your free FPEIndex account.
- Take a quick series of yes/no questions on your organisation’s culture and values.
- View your results and compare them with the benchmarks provided to understand your performance against industry peers.
- Convert insights into action by using the targeted recommendations to enhance your workplace practices. For employers who complete all modules, a full shareable report can be downloaded for further planning with stakeholders.
Having fair employment practices makes a difference to a workplace. Rooting out discrimination helps employees stay engaged and motivated to perform their very best, and ultimately enables the organisation to thrive.
