Cultural awareness
Ingrid Cumming has been working with Rise to deliver a number of workshops. The sessions are designed to help employees learn:
- about Aboriginal culture
- communication skills when working with Aboriginal Elders, families and their community
- the importance of cultural protocols when working with Aboriginal communities
- explore the perceptions, history, beliefs and identity related to Noongar culture and identity.
Diverse workplace
The organisation has a very diverse workplace. Of this Rise CEO Justine Colyer said
The range of experiences and views contribute to a well rounded and informed organisation. That’s why increasing our understanding of different cultures and perspectives is high on our list at Rise and we roll out regular training.
