Workplace Culture and the NDIS: A guide for leaders in the Australian disability sector

by Fran Connelley

Overview

IS YOUR ORGANISATION A GREAT PLACE TO WORK?

Over the last six years the Australian disability sector has experienced massive disruption due to the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. In this entirely new marketplace, an organisation's employees are now its most important asset and greatest competitive differentiator.

Fran Connelley, author of the bestseller How to Thrive Under the NDIS, turns her attention to workplace culture at a critical time for the Australian disability sector. It is culture that enables people to perform at their best and, in the face of a Royal Commission and the NDIS Commission, it is culture that must become the key business driver for providers in the maturing marketplace.

Workplace Culture and the NDIS is written for CEOs looking for practical tools to support their employees and build a vibrant, values-driven workplace culture. It includes interviews with CEOs and thought leaders and outlines a marketer's approach to organisational change based on an authentic, living brand. You'll learn how to:

• Understand the actual employee experience
• Use the brand to build a high-performance culture
• Link organisational values to daily behaviours
• Develop a Culture Action Plan that works

'Your book resonates so well with the reality of the NDIS experience. It is current, recent and such a good synopsis of the new marketplace and the issues we face. I've gifted copies to every board member and every one on my senior leadership team. Keep up the fantastic work!'

Caroline Cuddihy, Chief Executive Officer, Sunnyfield disAbility Services

'This book, and Fran's key messages, really get to the heart of what the NDIS was originally envisaged to accomplish. As Chair of a disability service provider, parent of a child with a lifetime disability, and as a professional working in the non-profit space, I gained enormous practical insights that I will take with me to board meetings, strategy sessions and advocacy discussions.'
