> ANZ Abilities Program:
> Target to recruit 35 people with a disability by September 30 2009
> ANZ are committed to building and maintaining an inclusive and diverse
> workforce. ANZ believe it is important to understand their customers,
> and as over 20% of the Australian population currently have a
> disability, they are striving to reflect the makeup of the communities
> in which they operate.
> As part of ANZs broader diversity initiatives that centres on an
> inclusive workforce, they have put in place some measurable targets to
> ensure that hiring people with a disability forms part of the
> overarching plan. ANZ plans to recruit 35 people with a disability
> into their organisation by 30 September 2009 and are well on their way
> to achieving this target.
> ANZ appreciate that there are exceptionally talented people within
> their chosen profession who may have experienced barriers to
> employment due to accessibility. With a Disability Action Plan in
> place, Accessibility Managers who ensure work tools such as technology
> are accessible to everyone and a Disability Network that brings people
> together from all over Australia, ANZ are well equipped to support the
> hiring of people with a disability into their organisation.
> ANZ would love to hear from people with a disability who have an
> interest in working for their organisation. For a confidential
> discussion about the Abilities Program, what its about and to discuss
> current professional opportunities that are available, please
