About this listen

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.

  • Code-switching – Why some employees feel the need to “play a role” at work

    Code-switching – Why some employees feel the need to “play a role” at work
    Sep 17 2023

    We all have different ways of presenting ourselves in different situations. We might talk or act differently at work than we do around family and friends. It’s called code-switching.  

    But for people of diverse backgrounds, constantly changing who you are to fit in with a certain work culture takes an exhausting toll.  

    Dwayne Good is the founder of Aboriginal-owned travel company, InTravel Group. He’ll explain why the subtle codes we sometimes have to live by at work are out-dated. And how to create a workplace where employees don’t need to switch.

  • Mentor makeover – How to make it work for you

    Mentor makeover – How to make it work for you
    Sep 10 2023

    A mentor can provide you with useful advice and a great sounding board to tease out workplace issues. But often women in particular are paired with a mentor, instead of being given a pay rise or promotion.  

    So, who is mentoring actually benefitting? 

    CEO of Jobsbank Karina Davis explains how you can build an effective mentoring plan that works for everyone involved.

  • Breaking down barriers – How to spot bias and remove it from your workplace

    Breaking down barriers – How to spot bias and remove it from your workplace
    Sep 3 2023

    Unconscious bias doesn’t just resolve itself once you’re through the hiring process. There are probably barriers peppered throughout every level of your organisational structure.  

    Whether it’s being flexible with your daily meeting times, considering alternate staff for promotions, or accommodating the needs of employees with caring responsibilities, we help you eliminate bias altogether. 

    Andrea Ho, Discipline Lead at Australian Film Television and Radio School, can help you re-structure your policies with a few simple strategies.
