Step-by-step reconciliation and supporting Aboriginal employees – Andrew Olsen Beyond the Gap
-
- Management
Andrew is a proud Dunghutti and Anaiwan man. He has had a dynamic career across government, education, and as well Big 4 consulting and major banks. This conversation lends itself to a real step-by-step guide on building out a Reconciliation Action Plan and is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to engage with the Aboriginal community.
Also explored are how non-traditional Aboriginal sectors can still have positive impacts on the Indigenous community, what the thought leaders in this space do more effectively than others, and what the C-suite need to understand about cultural loading for their Aboriginal employees.
Beyond the Gap is a podcast from national Indigenous not-for-profit First Nations Foundation as an Australian-first investigation into best practice reconciliation and Indigenous engagement for corporate Australia and beyond.
Guests include Indigenous and non-Indigenous thought-leaders – Hon. Ken Wyatt AM (Minister for Indigenous Affairs), Karen Mundine (Reconciliation Australia CEO), Dr Simon Longstaff AO (Executive Director of The Ethics Centre), David Atkins (former Cbus CEO), Andrew Olsen (GHD), Ian Hamm (chair of First Nations Foundation), and Dr. Tracy Westerman AM (clinical psychologist).
Themes include building meaningful relationships with First Nations communities, understanding cultural obligations and connection to country, essential next steps for all Australians towards reconciliation, step-by-step breakdowns for building Reconciliation Action Plans, how senior executive leaders should engage with Indigenous issues and challenges, the role of Indigenous entrepreneurship, and the importance of representation.
Host, First Nations Foundation CEO Phil Usher, is a proud Wiradjuri man who grew up in the rich culture of the Gamilaroi people. He has taken the Indigenous-led financial wellbeing organisation to new heights, recently launching new digital financial products for Indigenous Australians: IndigenousSuper.com.au, TomorrowMoney.co and My Money Dream. First Nations Foundation was awarded Indigenous Business of the Year at the 2020 MyBusiness Awards.
