The Plymouth Charter

What does your business offer young people, and does that match their needs?   We are opening up conversations with young people in Plymouth. If you are a young person - or a business - and would like to connect or comment, we are listening. What will make the biggest difference to bridging this gap? Anna Peachey Ellie Tighe #Plymouthbusiness #YoungPeople

What does the future of work in Plymouth look like? Our new "Young Voices" compilation video offers a glimpse. We've brought together highlights from 30 short videos featuring young people (17-30) sharing their real-life experiences of living and working in Plymouth. From first jobs to management roles and self-employment, these stories reveal the aspirations, challenges and triumphs of a generation shaping our city. If you are business owner, manager or HR professional in Plymouth, or anyone who is interested in our future talent, tune in as we'll be sharing more stories over the next month.

Inclusion is on the top of the agenda! Plymouth's economic strategy aim is 'Delivering increased prosperity through sustainable and inclusive growth'. Organised into 4 key pillars, the strategy sets out the context, challenges and the opportunities the city has to grow the economy. The pillars are: - Productive Growth and High Value Jobs - Inclusive Growth - Sustainable Growth - Civic Pride and Regeneration. The message 'A greener city for all' is clearly now central to delivery across the city. Exciting times!  Thanks to all our Signatories. Together we are making a difference.

The multiplier effect of spending with small local businesses is well documented. Who will be in town on Saturday 7th? I'll meet you for a cuppa.

It's Carers Rights Day. At Plymouth Charter, we believe that acknowledging the diverse needs of our staff is essential for fostering a happier and more productive environment. By providing flexible working arrangements, mental health resources, and opportunities for professional development, we empower our teams to balance their personal and professional lives effectively. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more engaged, motivated, and ready to contribute their best. Let’s continue to champion the rights of carers and create a workplace where everyone can thrive. Here's Tom talking about his experience of balancing work and his home life, and how the YMCA Plymouth supports those with caring responsibilities, and why. Our free toolkit is to provide more information on how to support people, at work, with caring responsibilities. https://lnkd.in/eGRnV56Z Tom Lavis YMCA Plymouth Plymouth City Council #CarersRightsDay #SupportCarers #WorkplaceWellbeing #FlexibleWorking #PlymouthCharter #DiversityAndInclusion #WorkLifeBalance
