Our values: people first, integrity, community and skills.
People@work has been part of the local community for more than 27 years. Proudly Not-For-Profit, our purpose is to assist the local community in joining the workforce, and matching local talent with local businesses. We do this because we know that it’s all about people, not profit. We measure our success by the many thankful people that we engage with on a daily basis: employers and employees who in their own right, feel more connected to their community through their employment.
Our not-for-profit status also ensures that we are audited against what we say we will do, we do. We honour our promise and commitment to the communities that support us.
Sustainability lies close to the heart of our reason for being, and we are proud to have directly contributed more than 4million to local community organisations over the years. We partner with Give Where You Live annually, as well as local organisations Headspace, GROW and G21. We have a measureable and demonstrable history of living our values. We also boast a strong track record of engaging successful business partnerships to affect best practice outcomes.
Employment is the focus of our business, with our strategic purpose for 2016-2019 articulated very simply: to put people into jobs and do it well – with respect, vision and innovation.
People@Work has a diverse client base, including Federal, State and Local Government entities and private enterprise. These include, but are not limited to: NDIS, Department of Justice, City of Greater Geelong, VicRoads, GMHBA, Airshows Downunder, Onesteel, Barwon Water, Kids+, Karingal St Laurence.
