24.01.2022 RCCIWA is working with Tourism Western Australia to best support businesses in the Tourism Sector who are really struggling to find employees for a wide range o...f positions. We know this is a critical issue in regional WA. We are keen to know if your business would access the Seasonal Worker Program or the Pacific Labour Scheme to try and fill your employee needs so that you can operate your business at capacity. Or alternatively if there is another solution for your business, please let us know. We have developed this survey to help inform decisions. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RCCIWATourismSectorShortages Could you please share this survey with your members, your networks and any tourism bodies in your networks. It closes next Wednesday the 16th. We have learnt from all of the surveys we have done this year, that having a short one week opening time seems to get the best responses. #regionalvoice #labourshortages
