Employers Guide to Partnering with Disability Employment Services
This guide has been developed in response to requests by Australian employers. In early 2010, several member organisations of the Australian Network on Disability identified gaps that exist in the understanding between employers and Disability Employment Services.
This guide aims to help Australian businesses to better understand and partner with Disability Employment Services to recruit from the entire talent pool and make it easier for candidates with disability to get and keep jobs. It also aims to create shared understanding and a shared language to assist Disability Employment Services and employers to work effectively together to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
Businesses can employ people with disability in a variety of ways. Many people with disability will apply for roles through an employer’s regular recruitment channels and will be selected for their skills and experience and the contribution they can make to the business.
Some people with disability benefit from assistance to help them to get and keep the right job: this assistance is provided by Disability Employment Services.
This guide includes case studies and success stories of businesses employing staff with disability, and the role of Disability Employment Services in their cases. These case studies are accompanied by short film clips shot on-site of four different businesses, which captures four employees at very different workplaces, their experiences, stories from managers/supervisors and Disability Employment Service providers.
