How do NESA members help employers?
 |
Our
members operate from 3500 sites across Australia and are very much
a part of their local community. The 35,000 staff in these
organisations are ideally positioned to cultivate a collaborative
and mutually beneficial working relationship with
employers. |
Employment and related
services offer a range of assistance to employers to assist
them to meet their workforce needs.
Employment
Services - Your partners in recruitment
A fundamental element of the
services offered to employers is assistance with recruitment in
order to find workers with the skills and attributes to meet
business requirements.
Our members will work with you to
understand your business needs to find the right
staff.
Our members will provide you and
your new recruits with pre and post placement support to
achieve sustainable employment solutions.
Employment service providers are
ready and able to assist you to fill your vacancies. Building
a strategic relationship with your local employment services
provider can be of significant added value and can help to ensure
that the skills you need will be available as you need
them.
| These relationships
can support the employer to develop workplace training and support
systems, cultivate a workplace culture of diversity and inclusion,
and access a broader range of government support, such as wage
assistance, education and training support or apprenticeship
services. |
 |
These initiatives strengthen workplaces for existing workers as
well as prospective employees. Building a relationship with
your employment service provider helps them to get to know you and
your business. This enables them to take a proactive approach
to assisting you with your skill and labour needs.
