Embracing a more diverse workplace
Understanding - and being understood - is a growing challenge in today’s diverse workplace, where almost 6 million people are born outside Australia and over 2 million people in the workforce have some form of disability. What’s more, ‘hidden’ disabilities like dyslexia can deter employees from reaching their full potential without extra support.
Satisfied employees are over 30% more productive and 10% more engaged. Assistive technology software alone has been shown to increase staff engagement and performance in the workplace by a fifth, simply by removing the barriers to communication.
