SUMMARY

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention in the present moment and doing it with non-judgment. Discover Mindfulness strategies that will help you be more effective in your life and at work. Learn about how you can introduce these techniques with your clients and colleagues.

Regulating the mind is like driving a car and constantly having to shift gears to ever-changing traffic conditions. Mindfulness teaches you to be aware of what mental gear you are in and gives you the skills to disengage and engage when you choose. The practice of mindfulness sharpens your focus so you can do something about your mind being constantly distracted and mentally hijacked. (Marianne Vicelich, Author & Entrepreneur)

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • What are the benefits of mindfulness practices
  • Experience a 5-minute guided mindfulness session
  • Simple and effective techniques that will help you more productive at work (and in life)

Expected outcomes

  • Manage negative self-talk and irrational thinking
  • Become more responsive instead of reactive
  • Increase resilience
  • Become less preoccupied with concerns

Frontline staff

SUMMARY

This is ideal for frontline staff who are advising clients on the application process and what they need to do to avoid being rejected by online application / recruitment databases / HR Software.


Have you and your client ever pulled together a great job application, flicked it off, waited, waited and waited, and received no reply? These days many organisations use HR Software to screen out documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.

The change from human eyes reviewing the initial application to computer software analysing the application has changed the way successful applications are formatted. This webinar will provide an understanding of those changes and how they are impacting on your clients success.

It will make you look at addressing criteria and your resume templates in a whole new light.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • An understanding of how online applications are processed by screening software is essential to know so your clients are not screened out on the first pass
  • The importance of key words in your job seeker’s application and matching these to the advertisement or industry that they are applying for
  • Formatting and making things pretty- why this does not work with online applications. Fonts to use, and fonts not to use!
  • Keeping it simple – how irrelevant or complex information on your online resume or application can be hurting your client’s chances of ending up on the ” Yes” list
  • Resume – the do’s and the don’ts, how to address gaps in employment history and how to adapt your resume to specific job applications.
  • The common mistakes that blocks resumes from getting through.

SUMMARY

Are your ready to capture opportunities in the delivery of New Employment Services?

The Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) is expected to soon announce the purchasing details for New Employment Services which will replace jobactive as Australia’s largest employment program from July 2022. 

The New Employment Services model represents the most significant reform Australian employment services have experienced in its 22 years of operation. 

It is intended purchasing will result in retention of expertise from amongst existing employment providers as well as create opportunity for new providers to enter the market, particularly those with specialist expertise. Organisations working with groups such as Indigenous Australians, culturally & linguistically diverse (CALD), refugees, people living with disability, ex-offenders, young people or homeless, for example or those working with large employers and recruitment specialists may find New Employment Services offers them significant opportunities.

The new model requires new thinking and approaches to develop a winning service model and delivery strategies that are central to a strong bid. It is expected that the Request for Proposal process will be highly competitive and preparation will be critical to success. 

To assist potential bidders prepare for the Request for Proposal, the National Employment Services Association (NESA) is delivering Preparing for Your Proposal in May 2021.

 ”Digital transformation – global trends in hybrid employment service delivery”. 

Employment services all over the world are firefighting the immediate labour market impact of COVID-19 and bracing for a future world of work with the after-effects of lockdowns, but also with the potential of digitization and growth. Digital tools are a great help in making employment accessible and skills more visible, if you know how to use them and when to better stick with face-to-face services. This masterclass offers an overview of what successful employment services from different parts of the world are currently using or planning to develop in hybrid services to their clients.

The public employment service of Estonia, one of the forerunners in e-governance, will share experience in what works and what does not in digital transformation of their public service. Further, the expert company for skills matching technology WCC Group will present state-of-the-art solutions for digital and hybrid employment services and how their clients, leading public employment services, are applying them.

The salon will leave room for discussion with participants and provide contacts to speakers for follow-ups.

AWARDS JUDGING

The NESA Awards for Excellence judging process is rigorous, transparent, and taken very seriously by the Independent Judging Panel. Judges invited to participate in the Awards are people who have notable expertise in relevant areas such as recruitment, business, health, community services and social inclusion. Revision of the Award assessment process occurs annually to ensure we uphold the highest standards of integrity.

Every nomination is subject to a comprehensive and rigorous assessment process using a standardised scoring and weighting system with auditing, variance and due diligence checks to ensure consistency with the Award criteria. NESA announces a maximum of three finalists for each award category. The judging panel will exclude nominations that do not achieve an acceptable benchmark score from the determination of finalists. At their discretion, the judging panel may identify nominations worthy of additional commendation, recognition or Award. A panel of at least two judges, including an Award Convenor, undertakes assessment of each Award category. Each judge independently assesses each nomination in the category, scoring each criterion and providing written comments including feedback on how to strengthen the nomination.

After assessment of all nominations for the category are complete, the Award Convenors conduct an audit, crosschecking all scores given by the category judging panel to identify instances where scoring is discordant. Where this occurs, Award Convenors review the nomination before contacting the judge(s) to discuss the rationale for their score. As appropriate, the Award Convenor may convene a deliberation conference to discuss the nomination(s) or criteria for which scoring has been discordant and/or request a re-assessment by one or more judges.

Following finalisation of the assessment process, the top three nominations are announced as Award category finalists. Announcement of Award winners of each category occurs at the Gala Awards Dinner held in conjunction with the NESA National Conference.

NESA staff support the judging process but do not participate in the assessment of or review nominations. Management of nominations occurs with strict confidentiality processes in place.

Judges' Top Five Tips

Tip 1.

Take time to read and understand the criteria thoroughly – analyse the criteria to ensure you understand exactly what is required in your response. If you are unsure clarify the criteria with NESA.

Tip 2.

Make sure your response fully addresses the criteria. For instance, if a question asks you to provide a timeline then ensure you detail the response chronologically.

Tip 3.

Avoid writing expansive, sweeping claims or generic declarations. Such statements actually undermine the strength of a nomination, as typically, they contain very little substance and cannot be either proven or disputed.

Tip 4.

Be specific about your or the nominee’s achievements. Provide evidence to support your claims against the criteria and wherever possible use more than one statistic to prove the point. There are many forms of evidence that you can use to support your claims; data, performance reports, letters of commendation, case studies or examples – choose the form that best relates to the criterion and if the criterion asks for specific evidence e.g. data or a case study, provide what is asked for. If you use the option to upload supporting material, ensure you cross-reference the evidence in the criteria responses and clearly title the uploaded attachment.

Tip 5.

If you are writing about yourself, then be yourself. Judges want to get to know you from the pages of your nomination. They want to gain insight into the type of person you are e.g. your values and passion for what you do. If you are writing about someone else be sure to capture the real person in the nomination. We recommend that completion of nominations occur in partnership with nominees to ensure as much information about them as possible is captured in your submission.

ONLINE | 3 PARTS

Performance Management for New Leaders and Other Beginners coaching program

Wednesday 16, 23, & 30 June 2021

Starts 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm in SA, & NT and 12 noon in WA)

EVENT REGISTRATION

TARGET GROUP

All managers, team leaders and aspiring mangers

SUMMARY

The mere mention of the term ‘performance management’ is enough to send a shiver up the spine of new managers/team leaders and their staff. Many of us immediately think of nerve-wracking performance appraisals and sleepless nights prior to those underperformance discussions. It doesn’t have to be like this.

This 3-part coaching program introduces new team leaders, and those looking for new ideas or to benchmark, to some of the key elements of performance management. While Most providers will have extensive HR assistance and Performance Management Frameworks, this coaching program focuses on an inclusive outcome centred approach to addressing, rewarding or re-aligning staff performance.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Session 1 – Performance Management Framework? It’s much more than a Performance Agreement! – Wednesday 16 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

In this session we’ll look at performance management and why it’s so important to the success of an organisation. Good performance management is like preventative medicine: people and organisations can thrive, and costs of solving staffing problems are reduced. What does good performance management look like? What does a good Performance Agreement look like? We’ll talk about it today.

We’ll also commence work on our coaching program project – to develop a Performance Agreement template for frontline staff.

Session 2 – Performance Appraisal and Managing Under Performance – Wednesday 23 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

A good Performance Management Framework allows people and organisations to flourish. Performance Appraisal is an integral part of the ongoing performance management process. Most of us are good at good news. Sometimes, however, there will be performance issues that we need to address. In a few cases we may need to work through a more formal under performance management process. In today’s session we’ll look at the Performance Appraisal process and managing under performance.

Session 3 – Over to You…. – Wednesday 30 June 2021 at 2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT and 12 noon WA)

Over the last two weeks participants have been developing a Performance Agreement template for the ‘employment consultant role’. Today is ‘show and tell’ day! What performance indicators did you include in your template? How will you measure performance, and what will your evidence sources be?

TARGET GROUP

SUMMARY

This webinar is aimed at staff who are meeting with job seekers regularly. Setting goals and strategies for helping job seekers develop their readiness to take up employment is what our sector is all about. In some instances the strategies will be as simple as targeted marketing of employers. However, for those job seekers who have been out of work for some time or who live in recessed labour markets, a longer term approach needs to be taken to helping those job seekers prepare for work.

Listen to the WA president of the Career Development Association of Australia, Rebecca Herbertson discuss:

  • The importance of always having an agenda and what this might look like
  • Magic Questions – Start of the process
  • The art of Goal setting with job seekers
  • Reverse career pathway planning
  • The simple career pathway
  • The action planning process
