The Queensland government is leading the way in terms of government support for small and medium business, pushing the state on a new path to economic recovery. The Queensland Government is directing 25% of its procurement spend towards Queensland owned SME businesses, with this amount set to rise to 30% by June 2022. The Policy went into effect on the first of February 2021, and it means the world to SME businesses like Kingston Human Capital.
Kingston Human Capital gives twice as much back
Businesses like Kingston Human Capital will give twice as much back to the local community. As a recruitment firm, we help people find work; however, the Queensland Government’s procurement policy helps us to grow our own business and employ more people. As a result, the more people we employ, the more people we can help find work across the Sunshine State.
At Kingston Human Capital, as a member of the labour hire panel, we partner with the State Government to deliver smart recruitment quickly and on-demand. We are working with stakeholders across Departments at all levels to find smarter ways to maximise talent. We are also working actively in the Queensland community to create new mechanisms to help people whose jobs are at risk, helping to redeploy them into new occupations and build the skills needed for their new roles.
Kingston Human Capital's commitment to the Queensland community goes further than helping people find work. Every time we help someone find a job, we make a donation to Queensland not-for-profit, "Suited to Success". We do this because we know it's one big cycle.
A global pandemic doesn't stop us from wanting to make a difference and donating money to those that need it most. We may be socially distanced, but we’ll always find a way to raise awareness and much-needed funds.
We are all part of the economic system. We know that businesses like ours have to take an active approach to help Queensland's economy recover.
