Editor's Notes
- As an influencer in your clients’ recruitment process, you play a major role in the success, or not, of their quest to access the right people for their business. So, how can you use your responsibility to deliver a full spectrum of candidates to your clients (candidates who reflect their customer base) and perhaps even change some lives? Using the JobAccess website and services is a great start and there are also some simple principles you can follow that will help to promote inclusion and access in the attraction and recruitment practices of your clients. Helping them achieve their employment goals, of course, will form a more binding relationship between recruiter and client.

- Employers, businesses and the organisations that represent them, have a critical role to play in recruiting, retaining and training people with disability. However, the Inquiry heard that employers may lack the knowledge, awareness and skills necessary for developing inclusive workplaces which support employees with disability. They may also be unaware of government programs and supports that can assist them. The Willing to Work Report offers a suite of strategies for employers to lift representation and ensure non-discriminatory recruitment, retention and training practices while maintaining and improving productivity. Leadership commitment: CEOs and organisational leaders should communicate their business’s commitment to inclusive and diverse workplaces to all staff. This should be supported by an organisational strategy which outlines the business case for a diverse workforce and could include goals such as: meeting voluntary targets for employment of people with disability; monitoring and reporting on performance against these targets and ensuring inclusive practices in relation to recruitment; networking and mentoring for and of employees with disability. Ensuring non-discriminatory recruitment and retention practices: Businesses should ensure that their recruitment and retention policies do not discriminate against people with disability. This could include reviewing recruitment processes to ensure that they are accessible and making promotional and training opportunities equally available to all employees, including those with disability. Building workplace flexibility: As a critical recruitment and retention tool, businesses normalise flexible work by making job design, work location and hours flexible for all, as far as the demands of the role allow. Provide targeted education and training in the workplace: In order to build inclusive, respectful workplaces employers provide staff with support and training about their rights and responsibilities at work, internal grievance processes, flexible leave options, any employee driven networks and the nature and impact of discrimination. Employers should support managers and supervisors in creating and managing diverse teams and flexible workplaces by assisting with job redesign, building skills to manage employees flexibly, providing information for managers for example mental health guidelines, manager support and training on the nature and impact of discrimination. Build healthy workplaces: Businesses should invest in health and wellbeing programs for staff. Implementing healthy work practices can be key to preventing chronic conditions and promoting good health. This could involve training of staff and managers about health, implementing ergonomic assessments or subsidising gym memberships.

- JobAccess streamlines access to services that will help your clients. The first port of call for all information and advice is the brand new website. It’s been road tested with employers and people with disability – and has information tailored to its audiences. Just some of the things you can find include tools and resources to help recruit and retain people with disability. JobAccess also has a team of employer engagement specialists – until recently called the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator. This team of people work with employers to advise them on ensuring employment practices and processes are inclusive and welcoming to all talent. And JobAccess administers the Employment Assistance Fund on behalf of the Australian Government. Employers can access financial help to buy work related modifications that help them employ or retain a person with disability. The advisers at JobAccess can often support you with ideas that have no cost too – perhaps a different way of thinking about a certain job can help you recruit exactly the right person for your job.
- So here are some ideas that the team at JobAccess supplied - straight from the recruitment practices of firms such as SEEK, Medibank, Deloitte, Qantas and many other major Australian employers that they have worked with. Ensure job descriptions are written in plain English and are specific and concise. Employers are keen to accept applications from any candidates who are able to demonstrate a clear match with the selection criteria. Focus on people’s abilities and skills and whether they are able to meet the ‘inherent requirements’ or required daily tasks of the role, rather than how the job is completed. Understand that sometimes good candidates may need flexibility to be able to clearly demonstrate their skills and knowledge during the recruitment process and to be productive in the workplace. Give candidates the opportunity to request support or reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process in order to demonstrate their ability to meet the inherent requirements of the job. Make use of the tools and resources available to you – including JobAccess and EAF
