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.

Become Workforce Evolve verified

Put the foundations in place for a strong recruitment and retention strategy to future-proof your business with a Workforce Evolve verification.

This program strengthens your employer brand by showcasing your commitment to a diverse, inclusive and sustainable workforce to appeal to a wider range of jobseekers.

Complete six online modules to earn the verification badge, a symbol you can proudly display on job ads, your website, social media, and even tender applications.

By implementing sustainable workplace practices, you’ll attract a wider range of qualified candidates and ensure your business is always prepared for hiring success.

Testimonials
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.
ELLA BRYAN,  DIRECTOR,  KPI SPORTS
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.
