Connecting Dots aims to provide Indigenous people with the tools to create and maintain their own independence, harnessing their passion, power and potential.
Employee Empowerment
Employee empowerment is brought about when an organisation enables their employees, through training and mentoring, to make decisions and work autonomously. Offering employees choice and responsibility empowers and encourages them to carry-out their job more effectively and efficiently.
Our Workplace
Connecting Dots recognises that employees demonstrate more responsibility, accountability and initiative in building a shared vision when they:
- Understand the company’s vision, mission and goals
- Receive training
- Are given decision-making authority
- Are not hindered by economic burdens.
Connecting Dots demonstrates this commitment to our employees by:
- Sharing organisational knowledge, our company vision, mission and goals
- Building genuine relationships with our employees and their families
- Giving employees responsibility, autonomy, and the flexibility to enjoy a rewarding work and life balance
- Providing feedback and proactively supporting growth and development opportunities
- Trusting employees
- Treating employees with respect to gain respect.
Your Workplace
This philosophy of empowerment is also put into practice through the work we undertake with Government agencies and private companies.
Connecting Dots has experience in developing Aboriginal Employment Strategies, sourcing Indigenous specialist staff and assisting organisations in contributing to the development of social policies, including organisational cultural competence.
Empowering Women
Connecting Dots understands the key ingredients to women’s economic empowerment, includes:
- Demonstrating leadership by decision makers in prioritising women’s economic empowerment
- Articulating gender equality as a goal in policies, strategies, budgets, programs and projects
- Attention to women’s economic empowerment in the context of trade, and business support
- Fully and systematically integrating capacity-development into each activity for every employee
- Generating and communicating analysis and knowledge to decision makers and staff to promote growth and development
- Making proactive efforts to foster women’s voices, inclusion and participation
- Recognising the negative impact of unpaid work or disparate pay for value and input into community work, community economic activities, and community empowerment.
A simple shift in the way your organisation manages your travel will be supporting Australian owned businesses, while promoting positive changes for Australian Indigenous communities.
The Connecting Dots Logo & Icons
Connecting Dots is a female Indigenous Australian owned business. The cultural term “dot” refers to a young female, and is a term of endearment and affection. We are proudly ‘Black Dots’, women and tiddas (sisters).
Our culture has always used “dots” as a form of communicating culture, history and story.
Dots in a circle also represent a meeting place, a coming together of people, ideas or movement towards each other. This is the purpose of our company.
