Enhancing Recruitment and Workplace Safety At Austral Bricks Victoria

The Opportunity

After experiencing positive safety and cultural changes with their proactive onsite injury prevention program, which
resulted in a saving of over $600,000, Austral Bricks Victoria sought to further strengthen their employee safety. They recognised the need for an effective recruitment strategy to ensure that new hires were physically capable of safely performing their job functions.

“Bodycare not only deliver quality assessments in a timely manner through a fantastic online platform, but they also take the time and effort to understand our business and the physical demands of the roles to ensure we have tailored assessments that meet our recruitment and operational needs.”
David Brial National WHS & Workers Compensation Manager

The Approach

Austral Bricks worked with Bodycare Workplace Solutions to implement a robust pre-employment assessment program.
Bodycare conducted tailored assessments to understand the physical demands of each role, aligning their efforts with the specific needs of the workforce.
This approach supported their recruitment strategy by ensuring they hired individuals capable of meeting the physical requirements of their positions.

The Impact

In tandem with their existing injury prevention program, this comprehensive strategy:

Enhanced
Austral Bricks’ recruitment process
Reduced
the occurrence of both work and non-work-related injuries
Improved
employee safety and workplace culture
Significant reduction
in injury related business costs
“Through this model, our business is much better placed knowing that we are hiring the right people physically for the role and in turn reducing our exposure to work and non-work-related injuries or illness.”
