The Workforce Australia Inquiry Employment Service has recommended a significant redesign of employment services to put the public service back in charge of the system, echoing Per Capita’s submission. Many of Per Capita’s recommendations have been adopted in the final report, including a stronger focus on employers, accountability to service users, improved data and IT systems, and trialling a Work in the Community program to replace Work for the Dole. The Inquiry, chaired by Julian Hill, did not receive any submissions arguing the current system was working well. In response, the Committee has called on the Government to create a new public entity, Employment Services Australia. This body would listen to and learn from unemployed people and employers, deliver some services itself, and contract other services to providers in a way that meets local needs and priorities. Under the Committee’s recommended reforms, contracted services remain, but their value and quality, along with the work of Employment Services Australia, would be monitored by a newly established Employment Services Quality Commission. This would ensure that unemployed people and employers looking for staff could be heard about what is working in Australia’s complex and diverse labour markets. #auspol #workforce #australia #labour #employment #reform

Taking my first look at the Government Response to the House Select Committee on Workforce Australia Employment Services. https://lnkd.in/gXyQcgJU From Minister Burke's press release; "We also need to do more with employers and social enterprise. There is a lot we can learn from the strength-based approaches used by social enterprise, including how to fit jobs to people’s circumstances. Better meeting the workforce needs of employers and industry benefits everyone". Yes. Better and more people-centred labour market activation is sorely needed in reforming our employment services system.

Chapter two of the Rebuilding Employment Services report nails it: 'Australia’s employment services system has long been designed in a deficit paradigm, underpinned by two flawed theories. The first is that unemployment is an individual failing rather than a systemic concern, and that clients will make efforts to secure employment if only they are beaten hard enough. The second is that choice and competition in human services will inevitably result in better services and improved employment outcomes, especially for vulnerable and long-term unemployed (LTU) people.' https://lnkd.in/gFmm-h3v

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a research report highlighting some key factors contributing to America's #laborshortage. According to the report, "... net international migration to the U.S. only contributed to a 247,000 person increase between 2020 and 2021. Compared to the decade's prior high of 1,049,000 increase between 2015 and 2016... the impact that immigration has had on U.S. population growth dropped by 76%." #Immigrants play a vital role our #workforce and can have a significant impact in helping to meet our workforce demands. Welcoming new talent into our labor force and adopting common sense immigration #policies are vital to strengthening our #economy.

The government’s response to the Workforce Australia Inquiry report, made yesterday, is weak on the major structural reforms that are needed to stop privatised employment services from causing harm to people who are unemployed. Given there are more than 700,000 people who are currently required to use employment services, many of whom are in financially dire positions, there is a need for urgent action to address very real ongoing risks. Structural reform is needed because the design of employment services as we know them is underpinned by a basic lack of respect – the same big-stick policy approach that enabled Robodebt and its disastrous heavy-handed compliance approach. Threats to social security payments deprive people of the security they need to function effectively while they look for work. The government’s response does not address the fundamental problems that have been caused by privatisation, which has failed to deliver effective services. More than a third of existing providers are failing to meet the performance benchmarks that have been set for them, and very few providers are meeting a high quality of service. “We are now two years into the Workforce Australia model and nothing has changed for the people who are required to use the services,” says EJA CEO Kate Allingham. “Payment suspensions are still out of control, and every day we see examples of employment services breaking the rules they are supposed to follow. There are nearly 700,000 people who use Workforce Australia who need better services – and quickly. “People also need to be relieved from the excessive levels of reporting required under the points-based activation model, and to get exemptions from meeting requirements easily. “While we appreciate that a number of measures were announced in this year’s Budget, we were hoping that the government would commit to the major structural reforms mooted by the House of Reps committee inquiry. “Every effort is needed to ensure the Budget reforms come quickly and that they are more than band-aid measures.” Employment services can be rebuilt with the needs of people looking for work at the centre of the design. If the $1.4-billion annual investment in these services is to be spent well, a new and more inclusive approach is needed.

I agree with the Centre for Policy Development 100% Whether as an employment provider, a referring organisation, a partner or by assisting people to navigate the system...it is clear to me the system was not built with people at its centre. It's foundational architecture is premised on the need to meet a KPI but not necessarily meeting people where they are and responding to where they want to go in their employment journey. Some of the best employment outcomes have come by partnering with place based organisations, employers, philanthropy and specialist social services organisations. As we reset, let's invest in flexible, innovative, place based and partnership oriented employment services.
The inquiry into Workforce Australia is an opportunity to build a system that works. See our joint statement with Brotherhood of St Laurence cosisgned by many other organisations below. "Together we can build a fair, nationally connected employment services system that creates opportunity for people and communities to thrive. One that supports social and economic participation that helps people build better lives and be a part of community. That opens the door for people locked out of work today so they and their families can prosper tomorrow. That grows the skills our industries need to be more productive, give back to the communities they are part of and power a national economy for the next generation. Opportunities for transformative reforms are rare. They demand conviction, vision and commitment. This opportunity exists today. As organisations and individuals, we are ready to embrace it." https://lnkd.in/eGnKF5fZ Mission Australia The Benevolent Society Social Ventures Australia Amaze Social Traders Life Without Barriers Save the Children International Annabel Brown Travers McLeod

Permanent Job Market - How does it look prior to the forthcoming elections? According to Reuters, LONDON, June 10 - A fall in permanent hiring by employers in Britain was at its least severe in more than a year in May and the recruitment market appears to be poised for a recovery. In a report that will be studied by the Bank of England as it weighs up when to start cutting interest rates, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation said permanent hiring has in fact fallen by the smallest amount in 14 months. "The jobs market looks like it's on its way back, with clear improvements over last month on most key measures," Britain's July 4 national election and the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the BoE later this year are likely to remove the hesitancy of employers about hiring, - REC Chief Executive Neil Carberry said. Here is what the Conversative and Labour parties are promising: https://lnkd.in/e642ZbGJ Richard Freke - MCIPD, Kyran Hawthorne, Victoria Morse, Sarah Young, Assoc CIPD

Come forward for Full Employment 🫱🏻🫲🏽 Unemployment is higher ⬆️ among young people than any other age group. Young people 📣 are also more affected by long-term unemployment and are far more likely to experience the instability of temporary contracts, part-time and precarious jobs. The EU strives not only to create jobs, but also to dignify them in the process. More on the EU’s employment strategy 👉 https://lnkd.in/dF2wfsJZ #WalkTheTalk #ComeForward #Vote #EUelections2024
