Explanation:
whatever you do, please don't use "good employership" - this has some Google hits in English, but most of them are from Dutch companies (...)

Other businesses have found that good employment practices have improved staff morale and loyalty to the company, reduced staff absenteeism and improved business productivity. Some examples of good employment practices include:
* Encouraging diversity in the workplace
* Having work/life balance policies in your organisation
* Ensuring appropriate health and safety practices
* Fair management of staff workloads
* Fair pay for your staff.
