differences and similarities in HR Practices, policies in Scotland and England

Afua

Hi there,

I am looking forward to relocating to Scotland to pursue my work within HR systems and analytics. Although I am excited about this, I am also nervous as I am unsure of how much change I will face in my new environment with regards to HR policies and practices in Scotland. 

My question is, are there any differences in HR Practices and policies in Scotland and England and if there are, I would be grateful if someone could guide me to relevant links or publications to do some research there.

It will be great to also meet and talk to HR Professionals in various stages of their career who are based in Scotland

Thanks

Afua

    One key difference I'm aware of is that the Scottish Government very actively promotes and support flexible working. This is partly due to the small population and greater dependence on migrant workers that has led to bigger skills shortages; and partly due to the fact that many people outside of the two main cities are located remotely.

    You might like to take a look at this website www.familyfriendlyworkingscotland.org.uk/.../

    Family Friendly Working Scotland is a collaboration between several charities and the Scottish Government which funds the initiative.
