The Mayor's Good Work Standard sets the benchmark for best employment practice. It recognises employers at the leading edge of pay and conditions, workplace wellbeing, diversity and recruitment, and skills and progression. The initiative has been developed in collaboration with London's employers, professional bodies and experts, and links to resources and support from across London to help employers improve their organisations.
Over 100 employers of all sizes have joined the Good Work Standard community since it launched in 2019. Over 235,000 people work for a Good Work Standard employer, in sectors as diverse as retail, construction, transport, local government, design, media, charities, law, finance, football and social care.
The Trampery is home to London’s largest campus of fashion studios and facilities across Poplar Works and Fish Island Village. Since 2012, The Trampery has supported more than 1,000 businesses, providing affordable workspace and business support as part of sector-focused facilities across London.
London Legacy Development Corporation was formed in April 2012, their mission is to use the opportunity of the London 2012 Games and the creation of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to change the lives of people in east London and drive growth and investment in London and the UK, by developing an inspiring and innovative place where people want – and can afford – to live, work and visit.
