Helping You Find, Welcome, and Support Great Staff 

One of the key workforce survey findings was that our Queensland workforce is growing. This growth is positive but comes with challenges like onboarding new staff, managing workloads and waitlists, and keeping workplaces stable and connected.

That’s why we want to remind you: We’re here to help!

Recruiting new workers is no small task. We know your time is precious, and every step—advertising, shortlisting, interviewing, reference checking, onboarding—takes careful attention.

The Workforce Capability Framework makes recruitment easier by giving you a clear picture of what ‘good’ looks like, helping you write position descriptions, run interviews with confidence, and keep the whole process fair, transparent, and values focused.

Our recent survey also highlighted the importance of values alignment—people want to work in roles with purpose. The framework goes beyond skills and knowledge, helping you focus on what really matters. The Job Interview Question Bank includes values-based questions that give you a sense of candidates’ alignment with your organisation and the sector.

Check out the Workforce Capability Framework and resources, and contact workforce@healingfoundation.org.au for support using these tools.

Recruitment is just the first step. The sector Induction Program is a great complement to your organisational induction. It provides a positive introduction to the people, purpose, and resources that make our sector unique. We have a one last Welcome to Our Sector induction series before the end of the year, so register your news workers now.

Let’s make recruiting and onboarding smoother, values-aligned, and more connected.
