Join CoAct: Economic sustainability

Sustainability in the current environment

Sustainability in the current environment

The employment services landscape we’re in today has changed. We’re seeing new challenges we didn’t face in the pre-Covid world, and there’s no denying it’s tough.

Our sector is facing increasing operational costs and competition, historically low unemployment plus caseload challenges.

Thin margins and high contractual expectations around service delivery and compliance make it difficult to service customers in meaningful ways that deliver real value.

The economies of scale required to make contracts viable are now under further pressure with declining caseloads.

The current economic environment is amplifying the pressure on providers, with rapid increases in cost across all areas of their business. From recruitment and wages, IT infrastructure, data security, compliance, accreditation and more, all business units are feeling the pinch. It’s never been more important for providers to invest in strategies that drive contract performance, create efficiencies and leverage economies of scale.

Imagine the costs saved in people, technology, time and more by streamlining just one or several of your business activities?

CoAct operates a unique model, where our service partners (subcontractors) directly deliver employment services. CoAct acts as the engine room, providing partners with a suite of supports that drive performance and sustainability.

Our services have been carefully codesigned and tested with 15 employment services providers, representing a significant investment over the past 25 years.

"When there are elements of a contract that aren’t working or there’s been changes made to a contract, it’s really good to be in an environment where you’re able to access different thoughts and other experiences. To come together to resolve issues and step forward to make a more productive and successful delivery for our customers."

"CoAct were proactive in sourcing two senior leaders for our organisation. The team were easy to work with, took the time to understand our requirements, and delivered results. They were  timely, responsive and understood not only our business needs, but the type of individuals best suited to our culture and environment. CoAct’s extensive knowledge of the employment services market and rigorous recruitment process ensured we received exceptional service and secured two fantastic employees. I would highly recommend CoAct’s recruitment service to other organisations."

"As a CEO, it gives a network of peers that I otherwise wouldn’t have, that’s very helpful when dealing with unique challenges - or sometimes not so unique!"
