The EOTB policy document was officially launched by the Hon. Bill Shorten MP in April 2012 at Parliament House, Canberra. This document, developed by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) desktop publication by Monica Shanahan (Mosmondor), calls on business to consider Employing Outside the Box when hiring new employees. Above is Monica Shanahan's portfolio on this design project.

The project supports business to business engagement by bringing together business leaders with experience in employing people with disability and businesses seeking new employees that may not have considered employing a person with disability.

You’re invited to the next Peer to Peer information session. This is a free event at the Canberra Business Chamber.
Wed 20 March 2019 - 7.45am – 9.00am.
The session will give you an opportunity to learn the many positive outcomes that result in employing a person with disability. You will also meet fellow Canberra Business Chamber members who are already doing this.

Project and Outcome
​
Employ Outside the Box (EOTB) is a series of publications to encourage businesses to diversify their workforce. By providing a clear business case and a systematic approach to internal procedures, the guides help businesses to hire people with disability, mature-age workers, Indigenous Australians and other categories of people with skills to offer.

The EOTB policy document was officially launched by the Hon. Bill Shorten MP in April 2012 at Parliament House, Canberra. This document, developed by the Australian Chamber of Commerce (ACCI) desktop publication by Monica Shanahan (Mosmondor), calls on business to consider Employing Outside the Box when hiring new employees. Hiring someone from beyond the traditional pool of workers isn’t about taking a risk or an act of charity. It makes sense from an economic and business perspective. The series of handbooks clearly outline the business case for employing the following groups:

• Employ Outside the Box – The rewards of a diverse workforce, ACCI – February 2012.
  Design & Publication by Monica Shanahan (Mosmondor).
• ​Employ Outside the Box – The Business Case for Recruiting and Retaining Mature Age Workers, ACCI – March 2012. Design & Publication by Monica Shanahan (Mosmondor).
• Employ Outside the Box – The Business Case for Employing People with Disability, ACCI – June 2012. Design & Publication by Monica Shanahan (Mosmondor). ​

As part of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (ACCI) Employ ‘Outside the Box’ initiative, Business SA recently hosted the launch of the “Business Case for Recruitment and Retention of Mature Aged Workers.”

The Hon Kate Ellis MP was joined by Jenny Lambert (Director of Employment, Education and Training at ACCI) to address guests and highlight the important role of mature aged workers in today’s workforce. The launch coincided with the National Employment, Education and Training Committee meeting hosted by Business SA.

Guests included representatives of employer organisations from throughout the country. 
The initiative is a call to employers to expand workforce participation by employing ‘Outside the Box’ when they next recruit. The “Business Case for Recruitment and Retention of Mature Aged Workers” is the first of an accompanying series of employer guides.

Ms Ellis said that in a time when some sectors are crying out for workers, it makes great sense for employers to look again at what older Australians can offer their business.
“I congratulate the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Business SA on driving the cultural change we have to see in our work places over the coming years, and I urge every employer in South Australia to join them,” Ms Ellis said.
