Rethink recruitment
Employers rethinking their recruitment practices have an opportunity to tap into an existing labour pool of talented, dedicated and work-ready candidates with disability.
More than one million Australians with disability currently thrive in Australian workplaces, across all sectors and industries, including in senior and leadership roles.
The best candidates prioritise jobs that offer inclusion, flexibility and a supportive workplace culture. Businesses that demonstrate their commitment to these values send a signal to prospective candidates that they will be valued and their differences celebrated.
As well as attracting top-tier candidates, businesses embracing diversity can see bottom-line benefits, including that disability-inclusive businesses grow profits more than four times faster than their peers.
