The project is led by CDWI Researcher Dr Jannine Williams, who has been studying socially responsible work which is explored through a concern for the meaning and experiences of work, and how work practices can be developed to become inclusive. The project is co-led by Dr Ruth Knight, QUT.
The research aims to equip employers with the skills and knowledge required to increase employment opportunities for people with disability, contributing to advancing employment equity and to increase talent in the social enterprise ecosystem in Queensland.
The research team will be engaging with people with disability and social enterprise managers and leaders to explore social enterprise employment practices and experiences to develop a practical toolkit for employers. The toolkit will be made freely available to all organisations.
The research team is inviting social enterprise employers and people with disability to participate and share their views via an online survey, interviews and workshops.
