Stronger Together – Tackling Worker Exploitation

Our Commitment to Ethical Recruitment

Quest Employment is a proud member and active supporter of the Stronger Together initiative, working to eliminate worker exploitation, human trafficking, and forced labour in the UK recruitment sector.

This initiative is a multi-stakeholder collaboration, supported by supermarkets, trade associations, the GLAA, Migrant Help, and ethical recruitment agencies like ours.

Through education, compliance standards, and ongoing support, Stronger Together helps businesses create safer, fairer workplaces while ensuring workers are treated with dignity and respect.

Together, we are fighting modern slavery and building a more ethical recruitment industry.

The 8 Stronger Together Standards

Stronger Together provides clear, actionable guidelines to ensure ethical recruitment practices. These eight core standards cover:

✔ Fit and Proper Test – Ensuring all labour providers meet ethical and legal hiring criteria.

✔ Pay & Tax Matters – Guaranteeing fair wages, accurate tax reporting, and no unlawful deductions.

✔ Prevention of Forced Labour – Protecting workers from exploitation, coercion, and mistreatment.

✔ Accommodation Standards – Ensuring safe and fair housing conditions for workers.

✔ Working Conditions – Promoting ethical workplace practices across all industries.

✔ Health & Safety – Maintaining safe environments where workers are protected and informed.

✔ Recruitment & Contracts – Ensuring clear, fair employment agreements with no hidden terms.

✔ Subcontracting & Labour Providers – Preventing unethical supply chain practices.

By adhering to these principles, we strengthen worker rights, protect businesses, and uphold ethical recruitment standards.
