Half of Australian businesses want to hire refugees, but most don’t. Yet the mutual benefits of employing refugees and asylum seekers is significant, and ultimately prove that doing good is good for business.
Join us in conversation with IKEA, Woolworths and the University of Sydney Business School for an online panel discussion to explore the evolution of refugee workforce pilot initiatives to become permanent pillars of recruitment in both companies.
Panelists will unpack the challenges, opportunities, experiences and outcomes of the programs and the business case for embedding secure employment for refugee and asylum seekers into their operations.
The panel includes;
- Host: Carmen Garcia, CEO, Community Corporate
