Diversity in the Workplace (Postponed)

APOLOGIES, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE

Opportunity, attitude and support are the keys to the successful implementation of diversity in the workplace. Employees with disabilities generally stay in jobs longer, have a strong work ethic, are punctual and have low absentee rates.
Employers have noted benefits including improved staff morale, reduced staff turnover and improved teamwork.

If you’re interested in employing individuals with a disability or seeking advice to tweak your Diversity in the Workplace program, then don’t miss the opportunity to attend this. Hear from leading members in their respective fields on processes adopted, challenges addressed and successful experiences in working in a team environment.

You’ll hear about the implementation of Sportability, which has a goal of 1000 jobs in sport for people with a disability by 2020; the experiences of employment supporter Ability Tasmania Group; how the AFL Umpires Association introduced the Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience and partner with the AFL on programs; and the management styles of key figures with Carlton Football Club and their cast experience in team environments.

Steven Trigg (Chief Executive Officer - Carlton FC)
Chris Donlon (AFL Umpire)
