Routes to change

The research used a model of change toward fair work that focussed on increasing awareness of fair work; improving understanding of its key dimensions and practices; building endorsement of the need to improve the fairness of work; identifying relevant actions; identifying or providing support for implementation; supporting robust monitoring and evaluation; and enhancing knowledge dissemination and learning. The trajectory and pace of fair work adoption will differ across occupations, organisations, industries and sectors, so leveraging each element of change can take place simultaneously. For individual organisations, the trajectory of change is more likely to be sequential, though in both the organisational and policy context, the model of change for fair work forms a learning loop, with lessons learned from implementing fair work feeding back into strategies to improve understanding and support for fair work.
