Meet your Workforce Evolve Coaches

To help employers address the current labour shortage, Business Chamber Queensland is proud to deliver the Workforce Evolve program, a Queensland Government funded e-learning program designed to help employers think differently about who they hire and how to retain them in the future.

Delivered via six fully online, flexible modules, Workforce Evolve will give employers the skills they need to make the most of this diverse and inclusive workforce. Each module includes the option to book a Coaching Session with a Workforce Coach for personalised learning support at each stage of the program.

Online training

Workforce Evolve is a free online learning program designed to provide employers with the tools and resources to access diverse groups of jobseekers by taking an inclusive approach toward recruitment, retention, and management within the workplace.

The program is delivered via six flexible online modules to equip employers with the skills required to make the most of a diverse and inclusive workforce.

These modules will help you gain skills in workforce planning, attracting the right candidates, supporting diversity in the workplace, change management and more.

Coaching

Throughout the program, you’ll have access to one hour of one-on-one coaching with our experienced Workforce Coaches and gain access to more targeted support from our referral partners.

During your session, you can discuss the learnings covered in the modules and seek further guidance specific to your workplace.

Partner Support

Some businesses who complete the program may require more targeted and tailored support to achieve their needs. We’ve partnered with specialist providers in diversity and inclusion who will be able to provide solutions and services to support your business.

Your Workforce Coach will be able to refer you to a specific partner. referred to a specific partner by our Workforce Coaches.

How Workforce Evolve can help you

 

Within our community, there are many motivated to work or work more but have historically been under-represented in the workforce.

These diverse groups include women with family or carer commitments or those escaping domestic violence, First Nations Peoples, the LGBTIQA+ community, those with disabilities, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, and mature aged workers.

With some changes in approach and the use of inclusive employment practices, the Workforce Evolve program can assist employers in developing a recruitment strategy to unlock a new segment of job seekers from these under-represented groups and in doing so, enrich your organisation with the right skills and diverse contributions.

The benefit to me completing Workforce Evolve was it provided the big picture or broader framework for creating an inclusive workforce. Being able to access templates and guides was extremely beneficial – they are very practical. As a small business having access to free information and practical resources was the biggest benefit to us, as these resources aren’t readily accessible to small businesses.”

The Workforce Evolve program did a great job at providing actionable concepts for what and where our business needs were. Very well done and very useful information delivered in an excellent manner. I would highly recommend the Workforce Evolve program to anyone that is interested in improving their businesses internal and external relationships and in growing their businesses opportunities.”
