Employing 100. Evaluation, Final Report

Abstract

Employing 100 is an initiative of the Australian Disability Network (AusDN) that aimed to successfully place 100 talented and suitably skilled jobseekers with disability into roles within four major employers. The Employing 100 project used an employer-led model to build organisational capability focused on building an inclusive workforce before linking organisations with selected talent providers who matched and supported applicants with disability through the recruitment processes. At the end of the two-year project, the Employing 100 project had exceeded its original goals, with 240 people with disability employed across the four organisations. Most importantly, the average retention rate for these employees across the partner organisations was 83 per cent.</p
