Last week we hosted our annual Kick Off celebrating the achievements of the year that was and setting up for a successful year to come. Our wonderful team came together from across Australia, sharing both their professional and personal highlights of the year.  We started the day with an energetic drumming session hosted by Soul Drummer who set the energy levels for the rest of the day by taking us on a journey of African drumming. We then heard from our leaders and celebrated the outstanding performance of team members who received awards. We then enjoyed a leisurely afternoon of great food, wine and spectacular views of our harbour at Cafe Sydney. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, candidates and partners who have helped us to continue #ChangingLives over the past year. Here's to a successful FY2025! #LauncherLife

Happy International Women’s Day 2024   Each year, this day serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made towards gender equality and highlights the work that still needs to be done. In support of #IWD2024, we held an education session with our team exploring the differences between the interconnected concepts of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. This year’s theme #InspireInclusion is centred on inclusivity: ensuring women feel seen, heard, valued and respected across all levels of society, government and the workplace. Diversity alone isn’t enough; women need equitable access to resources and opportunities and a seat at decision-making tables. We all succeed as an economy and society when this happens.   We also broke down the recent WGEA Employer Gender Pay Gap Data, taking time to analyse the data and be prepared, as a company, to discuss the results with our customers.   As passionate advocates for gender DEI, we are grateful to have the opportunity to support the advancement of women, particularly in leadership roles. Last year, more than 60% of our senior & C-suite appointments were female placements. We regularly help our customers exceed market levels of female representation in their permanent and contingent labour hiring in technology and telecommunications. It is achievable.   Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for all. #launcherlife
