Employ Outside the Box | The Business Case for Employing Indigenous Australians

Employ Outside the Box | The Business Case for Recruiting and Retaining Mature Age Workers
The importance of retaining mature aged workers in the workforce has long been offered as a partial solution to labour and skill shortages.

We need to understand that it is not “risky” to give mature aged workers more opportunities – it is risky if we don’t! The ACCI publication, Employ Outside the Box – the rewards of diverse workforce, covers this in more detail.
