SCA awarded for going the extra mile for job seekers

Southern Cross Austereo has been awarded for efforts in supporting job seekers, and employees, at the 2018 Leading Edge Employer Awards, taking home the Extra Mile Award.
 
The award recognises employers who go beyond expectations to support a job seeker by customising a role/workplace/shifts to match and provide any other additional assistance to aid the success of the placement.
 
New SCA team member, Toby Anscombe, gained employment with SCA Perth through Edge Employment Solutions after physical limitations had previously made it difficult for him to find suitable and desired roles.
 
Anscombe says working for SCA has given him much more than career opportunities including a sense of value and purpose “SCA has been very patient, flexible and welcoming, and has made adjustments to suit my disabilities,”
 
Southern Cross General Manager, Gina Hogan, says it is a privilege to receive this award, which is a reflection of SCA’s passion to build a diverse and inclusive culture.
 
“It’s important we have a workplace that is a realistic reflection of the community we live in. Building a diverse and inclusive team benefits everyone – employee, company and community. Toby is an asset to our team and it’s a pleasure to see him shine.”
 
A driven and passionate individual, Anscombe says he is eager to further develop within a company he loves, “I love my job and the people who surround me.”
