🎙Happy #InternationalPodcastDay🎙 🎧Two million Australians are now listening to a podcast daily, while four million are tuning in at least weekly; according to the latest #PodPoll 24 podcasts fuel listeners towards and action after listening. 🎧At Jobsbank, we believe in finding innovative ways of spreading the message of #InclusiveEmployment and #SocialProcurement. That's why we created #GettingItRight, our very own business #podcast about buying, working with purpose and inclusive hiring. The two series showcase industry leaders who've gone above and beyond to provide opportunities for those who need them and the people who took those opportunities and ran with them.  Thanks to our fantastic hosts Craig Foster AM (Series 1) and Rae Johnston (Series 2) for bringing these stories to life and Deadset Studios for getting it right!

This week we had the pleasure of meeting with Elizabeth Radcliffe from OSMI Australia to discuss the impressive progress being made towards the construction of the Delburn Wind Farm.   OSMI Australia is forging strong partnerships with key local organisations, such as Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC), Latrobe Valley Enterprises, and Gippsland Tech School, to bring significant #SocialProcurement benefits to the community.    Their dedication to creating #employment opportunities is clear—check out their portal to register: https://lnkd.in/g29Dk7hw    We look forward to continuing this valuable collaboration and exploring how Jobsbank can further support these efforts!    #InclusiveEmployment #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #Jobsbank #DelburnWindFarm #Gippsland #CommunityDevelopment #EmploymentOpportunities #SocialImpact Jane Anderson Karina Davis John Deppe

For DuluxGroup, it all started with a conversation: how could this global manufacturer enhance its gender diversity in a traditionally male-dominated industry? Since that conversation the company has gone on to increase its diversity in other areas too, creating a workforce that is more innovative and creative. And this success was recognised at the Chemistry Australia Awards earlier this year. But the journey isn't over. Find out how they did it and why embracing diversity has been good for DuluxGroup; watch the video below. #Diversity #Inclusion #InclusiveWorkforce #Leadership #Success
