OiS Fair Recognition Best Practices Series #1: Understanding the Problem

This guide is designed to help organizations consider how to implement fair recognition practices. It provides information on key issues to be considered, including terminology and why it matters, as well as how fair recognition may be defined and the benefits it brings.

It also provides best practice ideas to be explored, rather than step-by-step guidance on developing processes, particularly since Organizations in Solidarity (OiS) members make up a diverse set of organizations, of different sizes, with access to different resources, and based in different countries. Therefore, any practical processes will have to be developed by each of the organizations, bearing in mind their own structure and resources. It is recommended that organizations work with human resources professionals and take employment law into account as relevant to the country in which they are based.
