People with disabilities across Australia could enjoy increased mobility thanks to a new online platform giving them access to modified vehicles that would otherwise be lying idle. The initiative, to be piloted in South Australia by the not-for-profit tech company Connecting Up as part of YourSAy’s “Share” initiative, aims to engage with disability service providers and transport providers to create a new “sharing portal” providing access to the vehicles. It would enable companies, and individuals, to rent out their idle transport assets directly to disability service providers and primary caregivers. Connecting Up, which provides critical support for 26,000 not for profits by providing access to affordable digital technology and software, will co-design, develop and market the new platform.Posted on 11/08/2017 by -

Picture this: You are sitting around the table at the end of your management meeting and your CEO reminds you all that the annual performance reviews are due next month. The range of reactions from the managers range from eye rolling, huffing and puffing, outward groans, through to disbelief that another year has passed by so quickly. This is then followed by furtive glances into work diaries wondering how they are supposed to fit in one hour one-to-one conversations with all their direct reports, not to mention the preparation time required and dreading that one conversation with their ‘problem employee’. The meeting has now ended on a sour note and everyone shuffles out of the room - and that’s just the managers!Watch now -
