Is high staff turnover an issue for your organisation? We reveal how Workforce Australia can help you strengthen your team for sustainable growth.
Finding the right staff can feel like a constant battle – and a costly one.
High staff turnover can be one of the most expensive and disruptive challenges a business can face, costing time, money and productivity.
Nearly one in four employers is replacing staff at least every six months, according to Jobs and Skills Australia.
This costly cycle drains productivity and disrupts team stability, leading to workforce gaps and constant challenges to keep operations on track.
On top of that, when it comes to hiring, many employers miss out on talented candidates with diverse abilities simply because they aren’t aware of inclusive hiring programs or may think the process is too complex.
This is where Workforce Australia (WFA) can make a real difference.
Workforce Australia (WFA) is a Federal Government-led employment service that connects jobseekers with employers.
It offers a two-fold approach – providing support, training and resources to help individuals find and retain work while also assisting businesses to recruit suitable candidates.
Support levels vary, from online search tools that allow both employees and employers to connect with the other to personalised case management delivered via a network of WFA specialist providers – which includes Community Solutions – for those needing greater assistance.
From an employer standpoint, WFA offers a more connected, end-to-end recruitment service designed to make hiring easier for businesses of all sizes. The program includes three key components:

If your business is caught in the cycle of constant recruitment, it could be time to consider a different approach.

The WFA program addresses the root causes of recruitment challenges while providing ongoing support to ensure successful, long-term employment outcomes.
Rather than continuing with costly hiring cycles, you can build a foundation for sustainable workforce growth.
