Harmony Week is about celebrating Australia’s cultural diversity that respects and welcomes people of all cultural traditions and faiths. At Zoom Recruitment, we all play an important role in supporting any and all differences - which aligns to this year’s Harmony Week message of Everyone Belongs. We value our multicultural, diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects our people, clients and community.
Every one of our people is unique and brings different skills, opinions and ideas to their role. We benefit from employing and working with people from diverse backgrounds, as every individual offers a unique perspective, and helps Zoom Recruitment live our values.
HOW DO WE PROMOTE HARMONY AND DIVERSITY AT ZOOM RECRUITMENT?
We encourage our people to communicate respectfully and be mindful of the differences that exist between our people and how this can affect our relationships. We also expect our people to challenge any stereotypes they may hold and draw on the opinions and experiences of others.
We do not ask our people to change their individual views, traditions or beliefs. We do ask that we interact with each other in a professional, considerate and respectful way.
Everyone should have equal access to employment opportunities, and so we actively remove real or perceived barriers to employment because we know the importance and value work has for our people’s and our community’s wellbeing.
It is our responsibility to treat all our people with respect and dignity to ensure that our people can realise their full potential regardless of any differences; that we include, not exclude, that working with us is not about just surviving - it’s about thriving in our workplace. The message of respect and belonging is lived by each of us, every day, not just during Harmony Week.

HOW ARE WE CELEBRATING HARMONY WEEK?
Our Harmony Week celebration is a lunch at each of our Zoom Recruitment branches, with our people bringing food that represents their culture. We are expecting a range of treats - some usual favourites and maybe something we have never tasted before.
Additionally, our email banner will support Harmony Week, we have updated our EEO, Diversity and Inclusion policy and are launching our new online staff training module.
Finally, our people have created a video to showcase their heritage and what they love about it, as well as when they feel a sense of belonging.
