25.01.2022 Communication is vital in the workplace. Fine-tuning them will help you in stepping up in your career. TED Talks provide 10 key areas to sharpen your communication through active listening - https://enterprisersproject.com//10-ted-talks-sharpen-your. Happy reading (and listening!).

25.01.2022 The Victorian auto industry has faced another challenge in operations due to the fourth lockdown in the state. According to IBISWorld, auto workplaces potentially face reduced retail sales due to a downturn in customer sentiment, reduced heavy vehicle production due to a downturn in capital investments, as well as delays in obtaining tools and parts from overseas manufacturers to support the increase in maintenance and repair demands (https://content.ibisworld.com//covid-19-...special-report-8-j) Our workplaces have reported additional management, human resource support and administration needed to manage lockdown requirements have placed further pressure on their business. At Tradeswomen Australia, we acknowledge the pressure, uncertainty, and stress each auto business continues to face, and that these factors will increase the potential for mental illness and injuries to occur while COVID continues to impact the state. Today, we are supporting over 100 Victorian automotive workshops to prevent mental injuries and improve mental health and wellbeing for those impacted by COVID, as well as many other workplace-related factors. If your business needs support, WorkSafe Victoria has provided the WorkWell Toolkit so you can get the right resources and information to help protect employees from mental injuries and invest in a mentally healthy workplace. Sign up today - https://www.workwell.vic.gov.au/toolkit. The Project is supported by WorkSafe Victoria's WorkWell Mental Health Improvement Fund. Tradeswomen Australia acknowledges the support of Gforce Employment Solutions, Repco Authorised Service, WPC Group, Kangan Institute, Cummins Inc, Champions of Change Coalition, Indigenous Employment Partners, Murray Mallee Training Company Ltd, MEGT Australia, and Bruce McDonald of Advantage Point. #workplacediversityproject #workwell

22.01.2022 Did that statistic shock you? Consider also that 45 women have been killed by violence this year alone (as per Destroy the Joint's current tally).

In honour of the International Day to End Violence against Women this week, TWA invite all genders, tradespeople, businesses and industries to throw their suppo...rt behind this campaign: 1. #makewomenssafetyyourbusiness: promote female equity, respect and inclusion in your business and as an individual 2. #callitout: Call out bad behaviour, attitudes and actions when you see them 3. #talkaboutit: share the message to all your networks, make it a subject of discussion at work and at home 4. #endviolenceagainstwomen: become an example and ambassador for gender equity.
