MTA Queensland's Industry Workforce Advisor, Kelvin Millar, recently sat down with Jase Pearson, the owner of Pearson Automotive. Together, they developed a comprehensive workforce plan to help drive growth and success in Jase's business. 📈 Thanks to their collaboration, Jase was able to apply for - and successfully receive - the HR Support Grant for Small Business. This grant has enabled him to implement meaningful cultural changes within his organisation, improving staff retention and cohesion. 💡👨🔧 Read more about their journey 👉 https://lnkd.in/gikRJUA7 #MTAQueensland #WorkforceSolutions #SmallBusinessSupport #HRSupportGrant #AutomotiveIndustry #BusinessGrowth #WorkforcePlanning #SmallBusinessSuccess The Industry Workforce Advisor Program is part of the Queensland Government's Good People. Good Jobs: Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032.
Spotlight on Pearson Automotive! 😎🚗🚚 Jase Pearson, owner of Pearson Automotive in Brisbane, has successfully operated his automotive repair business for 28 years. While the business has enjoyed steady growth and expansion during this time, Jase recognised that staff retention was hindering its potential. To tackle this issue, Jase sought guidance from Kelvin Millar, Industry Workforce Advisor for the Automotive industry. Together, they developed a comprehensive workforce plan, which led Jase to apply for the HR Support Grant for Small Business. With the help of the grant, Jase and Jordan, HR consultant Jordan Lowry from Blackstone Business Group, developed a strategy based on the principles of building team cohesion. As a result, Jase has implemented a strategy centred on building team cohesion, effectively fostering a culture of teamwork and appreciation among his staff. “Since implementing the staff appreciation system, we have seen real improvements in both attendance and morale.” Says Jase. “Working with Kelvin and Jordan has re-energized me and my staff.” Connect with an Industry Workforce Advisor today!

It’s official! Spirit Super and CareSuper have merged to create a bigger and stronger industry fund with over 550,000 members Australia-wide 👏
Spirit and Care—we’re super together! CareSuper and Spirit Super have now joined together, and we’re thrilled to launch to our members and employers across the country. With a combined history of over 70 years, we’re proud to continue the legacy of genuine care from both funds. Our only aim is to help build more confident retirements through exceptional care and connection. And now, with $53 billion in assets and over 550,000 members, we’re big enough to make a significant impact, but still small enough to provide personalised care — so our members and employers always come first. Jason Murray, the CEO says, “It’s an exciting time to be a member as we build on the excellent work we’ve already done to bring the funds together. We’re looking forward to maximising both of our strengths as we step into the future. CareSuper continues to be in a great position to provide strong long-term performance and award-winning service to help our members retire with confidence.” Watch more from Jason and the CareSuper team *CareSuper (Spirit Super) was ranked best in super by Customer Service Benchmarking Australia (CSBA) for the period April 2023 to March 2024. We have an agreement with CSBA for quality assurance and staff training within our contact centre. Awards and ratings are only one factor when deciding how to invest your super.
