"We are seeing more Indigenous businesses in Australia. This is important,
given these businesses produce social impact, support Indigenous economic
self-determination and maintain strong levels of Indigenous employment.
When we hear about Indigenous knowledge businesses, we often think about how
this knowledge is presented within a business’ product or service, such as
through art, tourism or clothing. What is less understood is the role
Indigenous knowledge can play in the organisation and culture of a business,
and the profound impact this can have.
There is still a stark gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment on
a national level. It doesn’t help when non-Indigenous-owned businesses continue
to struggle with hiring and retaining Indigenous employees.
But for Indigenous-owned businesses across locations and industries, employment
remains strong. Research shows 36% of employees within these businesses are
Indigenous.
In our new research, we interviewed Indigenous business owners, managers and
employees to explore how these businesses support strong levels of Indigenous
employment. Our findings show a need for all Australian businesses to learn
best practices from Indigenous businesses."
