Getting it right
Is there a way to scale a good decision so that it works not just for your business, but for society?
In our new podcast Getting it Right, we’re turning to the people who have the answers.
Getting it Right is all about hiring, buying, working with purpose and creating inclusive workplaces.
You’ll meet industry leaders who’ve gone above and beyond to provide opportunities for those who need them. You’ll also hear from the people who took those opportunities and ran with them.
Inclusive employment and social procurement is ultimately about people–and in Getting it Right, you’ll hear real people’s stories, you’ll learn the benefits of being curious and looking in the right places, and you’ll get ideas about how you can buy and hire with purpose.
Season 1: Host and former Socceroos captain Craig Foster mobilised his profile as a career footballer to start a career in human rights activism. And for Craig, social procurement was the key to unlocking one of his most successful activism endeavors to date.
Season 2: Host Rae Johnston gives you real-world skills and practical tips to create a more dynamic and diverse workforce; Rae unpacks the hiring processes that work and guides you on best-practice principles for recruiting.
