1. Providing job seekers with valuable interview tips
The interview process is a re-occurring pain point for many job seekers.
This is why we have dedicated more time and resources to simplifying this process for both the interviewee and interviewer.
During 2024, we published additional resources to our website as way to provide job seekers and employees with everything they need to prepare for their next interview. We added an extensive interview guide, constructed a comprehensive list of interview tips, and identified a list of interview questions they may be asked.
Since making these changes, we have been able to empower employees to enter the interview room with confidence.
2. Simplifying the job search with our job search dictionary
To someone who doesn’t work in recruitment, it can be hard to understand recruitment jargon.
So we developed an All-In-One Job Search Dictionary.
This resource helped our candidates and clients comprehend the recruitment process and concepts that may be confusing for many new employees or job seekers to understand. Especially if English is a second language.
Using our Job Search Dictionary, employees will be able to navigate the job search process more effectively and with greater confidence.
If you want a personal copy of our Job Search Dictionary, you can download it here.
3. Helping job seekers write a stand-out resume.
Almost every job seeker will need a resume. But not just any resume, a great one.
You need a resume that will stand out, make an impression, and hopefully land you the job you want.
But unfortunately, it isn’t that simple. Resume writing can be a hard craft to master.
Many of our recruiters realised that our job seekers continuously struggle to write a well-structured resume. And this often leads to increased levels of frustration when it comes to the employment process.
To rectify this issue, we increased our focus on proving employees with useful resume writing resources.
With access to our resume writing template, resume builder, and comprehensive recruitment advice, our job seekers have access to all the tools they need to apply for the right roles and secure a job that aligns with their specific skillset and personal experience.
4. Celebrating our hard-working employees.
This may not come as a surprise, but positive reinforcement, usually leads to positive results.
Acknowledging the hard-work and commitment displayed by our candidates is essential to supporting our company mission. As part of our employee engagement program, we continue to celebrate our amazing staff members with awards and incentives.
Take a look at some of our amazing candidates from 2024! These are the guys (and girls) who work hard to support Australia’s manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics industries.
5. Recognising women in the Australian workforce
More than 70% of Staff Australia’s internal workforce is built and run by women.
For us, supporting women in the Australian workforce has been an critical element to our businesses success, and we continue to foster a culture of inclusivity and authenticity. We support female leadership, encourage gender empowerment, promote workplace fairness and are open to industry change.
6. Giving back to good causes
From hosting the Biggest Morning Tea for Cancer Council Australia to supporting RSPCA’s Cupcake Day, our team raised thousands for vital causes.
To show our support for Cancer Council Australia, our team indulged in homemade desserts and Aussie favourites. We also raised over $1300 at Staff Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea! As proud animal lovers, we also showed our support for RSPCA’s Cupcake Day 2024! It was great excuse to get together, enjoy some goodies, make some donations, and share photos of our beloved pets.
7. Fostering Diversity and Inclusion:
We believe that diversity is our strength, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where every voice is heard and valued. With nearly half of Australians either born overseas or being first-generation citizens, we are determined to champion diversity and inclusion not just in 2024, but every day. By working together, we can build strong workforces and inclusive communities where everyone feels empowered to be their authentic selves.
8. Launching the Staff Australia Newsroom:
After the ups-and-downs seen over the last few years, we knew transparency was important. A goal was set: to inform our candidates and employers about changes in the job market.
We created the “News” webpage and started publishing fortnightly blogs and industry updates designed to keep Australians in the loop.
This became an essential “hot spot” where both job seekers and employers could find new opportunities, learn about upskilling, boost workplace confidence, accelerate their job search, and stay informed.
9. Boosting workplace safety, education, and engagement.
Through training, case studies, market research, and employee feedback, we have been working tirelessly throughout the year to improve employee wellbeing and workplace safety.
Providing incentives and recognising the contributions made by employees is vital.
We know that happy, motivated employees are the key to company success, which is why we continually invest in initiatives that promote a supportive work culture. Organizations that prioritise employee well-being experience a 41% reduction in absenteeism. (Forbes)
10. Creating opportunities for thousands of employees
It would be a lost opportunity to gloss over our greatest achievement of all, finding jobs for thousands of workers across Australia. Each successful placement has reinforced our mission of making people our business.
Finding work for highly skilled and talented Australians in the industrial and commercial sectors is at the core of everything we do.
The future of us:
After 25 years of supporting the Australian workforce, our business continues to embrace technological change and innovation. As a committed labour-hire provider for industry leaders in manufacturing, logistics, and production, we are prepared to venture down the road of change.
Whether it’s empowering job seekers, endorsing inclusivity and diversity, or giving back to the community, every small step, has brought us closer to building a stronger and future-proof workforce.
We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Staff Australia, Bring on 2025!
