Cultural diversity is good for business

More than 2000 new migrants are moving to the Sunshine Coast annually, and local businesses have everything to gain by recruiting into this growing workforce.

Diverse teams bring rich perspectives, varied experiences, and a tapestry of ideas that fuel productivity and innovation.

Employing a culturally diverse workforce leads to many benefits including:

  • increased creativity and productivity
  • a wider range of skills
  • improved employment outcomes
  • improved mental and physical health
  • reduced cost of social services
  • inclusive growth.
