Organisational factors that have the potential to influence the ability of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to flourish in the workplace

[摘要] This summary report presents the preliminary findings of a project that aimed to identify the key factors that can enable organisations to understand and improve the work-related social and emotional wellbeing of individual ATSI staff. An important goal for many contemporary Australian organisations is to improve the number, diversity, and seniority of their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) employees. One crucial factor in attracting, retaining, and promoting ATSI talent is the degree of social and emotional wellbeing that the workplace environment enables for those people.The National Indigenous Reform Agreement (2013-2014) sets the template for Australia's current Indigenous Advancement Strategy reforms. A range of programs have been implemented to improve conditions for Australia’s ATSI people, including programs that target the workplace. A key organisational response to the desire to improve outcomes for ATSI people has been to commit to a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The RAP provides a framework and business planning tool for organisations to identify, commit to, and realise their vision for reconciliation. This preliminary project aimed to determine the kinds of outcomes for employees that employers expect to see from implementing a RAP; and how those outcomes might be measured. The study operated at a comparative organisational level and has not yet sought individual ATSI employee views.
