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.
