At PBC, we believe that truly great organisations recognise each person’s potential, not their limitations. That’s why we are proud to announce that PBC is a recognised Disability Confident Recruiter through the Australian Disability Network (AND) program.
PBC is committed to removing unintended barriers in our recruitment and selection processes, so that talented individuals with disability have equitable access to career opportunities. Our organisation has taken concrete steps to embed inclusive, barrier-free hiring practices, including:
- Reviewing our end-to-end recruitment process to identify and remove obstacles for applicants with disability.
- Ensuring job advertisements are inclusive and focus on essential skills and outcomes rather than rigid requirements such as physical tasks or specific formats.
- Offering reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring journey, from application, to interview and onboarding.
- Providing training for our support, HR and leadership teams so they are skilled and confident in supporting inclusive recruitment and people with disability.
- Communicating clearly that PBC welcomes candidates of all abilities, and providing contact options for discussing adjustments, accessibility and any support needs early in the process.
Why we believe this benefits everyone
There’s a strong business case for inclusive recruitment. By tapping into the full talent pool, organisations gain access to highly skilled, loyal, engaged employees. And those employees bring different perspectives, strengths and experiences to enrich the workplace. Moreover, inclusive recruitment helps shape a culture of belonging at PBC, one where diversity is valued and every individual can contribute and thrive.
Our ongoing commitment
PBC is committed to ongoing monitoring, feedback and continuous improvement of our hiring practices. We will review how our processes perform, listen to candidates and stakeholders, and evolve as best practice evolves.
Embedding inclusion into organisational excellence
At PBC, our purpose is to help people and organisations perform at their best. Achieving Disability Confident Recruiter status reflects our belief that inclusion is not only a moral imperative, but a key driver of sustainable business performance.
Inclusive practices strengthen leadership capability, enhance decision-making, and create workplaces where innovation and engagement thrive. We are proud to model these values internally and to support our clients in building cultures that value difference and foster equity.
By embedding inclusive principles into everything we do, from how we recruit, to how we assess and develop leaders, PBC continues to champion the belief that high-performing organisations are inclusive organisations.
