The HR for Creatives project, led by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), funded and initiated by Creative Scotland, aimed to support 20 arts, screen, and creative industries employers in Scotland.
Creative Scotland’s 2022 Review of Fair Work showed that specialist HR expertise is often beyond the budgets of employers in the creative industries, which disadvantages implementing the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First agenda.
In response, Creative Scotland partnered with SCVO on an action research project to explore the support needed for micro and small creative organisations. The 12-month initiative focused on improving HR practices and implementing Fair Work principles across the arts, screen and creative sectors.
Tialt was commissioned as the learning and reflection partner for the project. This research summarises the key findings of ongoing conversations throughout the project, and a rapid literature review.
SCVO Resource Library
As part of this work, SCVO have put together a Resource Library, pulling together the key information that you need to know when it comes to employing people and working with Freelancers.
