Aus Accountancy is a large accountancy firm with 25 staff in a range of diverse roles. Located in one office, based in Sydney, there are a variety of different teams within the office. The Staffing roles within each of the teams have a range of different skill sets that required to run the business, ranging from senior management staff to entry-level staff. The company is in a period of expansion and needs to ensure that it can access a sufficient number of qualified staff. Over the last 12 months, the company has found it challenging to attain and maintain adequately trained staff. As a result, the CEO has decided to address this by rolling out a ‘Set for Skilling’ program. The CEO hopes that this program will help increase staff retention and reap all the benefits of a highly skilled, diverse workplace. The success of the Set for Skilling Program relies on your ability to work as a Recruitment Manager managing the program implementation. A vital part of the implement is your ability to educate the staff on the Aus Accountancy diversity policy in the roll out of the Set for Skilling Program.
