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:

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.

On desks, shelves, workstations and water-coolers it can prompt discussion and be filled with ideas, business cards and feedback. At the start of this parliamentary year, I am delivering this box to all federal members and senators. There will, and should be, plenty of debate in this election year about workplace matters. As we discuss the means to this end, we should not lose sight of the end. The cubed "Employ Outside the Box‟ can be a tangible reminder of common labour market goals on which we all stand."

(MEDIA RELEASE ACCI) The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Australia's largest and most representative business organisation, today issued a 'call to arms' for Australian employers to expand workforce participation by reframing attitudes to employing people with disabilities. At the Melbourne Town Hall, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations Bill Shorten and ACCI Chief Executive Peter Anderson launched Employ Outside the Box: The Business Case for Employing People with Disability, an employer guide developed by ACCI promoting workforce diversification. ACCI, our member organisations and National Disability Services are highlighting the benefits that people with disability can bring to individual businesses, and in the process, dispelling myths using business case-studies. "With ageing demographics, sluggish productivity and forecast skill shortages, industry must think laterally and long term when it comes to recruitment. Lifting labour force capacity has economic and social spinoffs. For the business community, this is not about charity, it is business common sense," Peter Anderson said. "Employees with disability are loyal and committed people, especially if the focus is on ability rather than disability. There is also government support for workplace modifications, free and confidential advice on hiring practices, financial incentives, and training to help raise skill levels." 'With many industries and regions experiencing significant skill and labour shortages, especially in regional areas, business must fully utilise available labour supply to meet our economic needs," Mr Anderson said. The Employ Outside the Box project encourages employers to develop innovative strategies to attract and retain valued employees to bolster Australia's participation rate. ACCI publications are available to employers across the nation through ACCI's network of Chambers of Commerce and National Industry Associations. ACCI and our members are also rolling out this initiative in regions and industry sectors. Mr Anderson’s speech is available at www.acci.asn.au.
