If you’re living with or you’ve experienced disability, we’re inviting you to share what you think employers should know about you and your ability to work.
Our #DearFutureBoss campaign wants as many people as possible to share their thoughts on what a great workplace would be for them.
At APM we believe everyone should be able to enjoy good work.
And we want employers and businesses to realise the benefits of hiring of people with an injury, illness or disability and see how easy it is to accommodate employees with different needs.
Post your message to Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn with the hashtag #DearFutureBoss.
Remember to tag APM too! You can find us on:
If you want to join the campaign but don’t have a social media account, email your message to futureboss@apm.net.au and we’ll share it on APM’s social pages.
Maybe you’ve felt ignored by employers because of your disability or health condition, or experienced hiring policies that made it difficult to secure a job.
You may have been in a job where different tools, equipment or software would have helped you to perform a lot better.
Or perhaps you think training for all staff on how to better understand colleagues, clients and customers with disability is needed in a future workplace.
Whatever your experience in searching for work or maintaining employment, we want to see your suggestions about making workplaces more inclusive, accessible and productive for people with disability.
#DearFutureBoss aims to:
APM Ambassador and Australian Paralympian Ellie Cole has launched the campaign with her own #DearFutureBoss message.
