Gay Employment: Jobs Cafe Offers Solution

JOBS CAFE is a service that enables you to publish your online job ads and is an employment website created to highlight gay welcoming employment opportunities to the gay community in Australia and New Zealand. Puffta Media has launched Jobs Café due to the overwhelming need for an employment site specifically designed for the gay community.

Recent statistics prove that many gay people are discriminated against and harassed by fellow employees and management in their workplace making their lives unbearable and forcing resignations or worse.

Employees that find it difficult to be themselves in the workplace are more prone to suffering depression, increased sick days and reduced work output as a result, which is not a desirable outcome for any employer.

Jobs Café is a simple and easy to use employment website for both employers and job seekers and ensures that gay job seekers will be welcomed into potential places of employment with the level of respect and openness they deserve.

Large employment websites with thousands of job vacancies can make it difficult to find a potential position suiting your skills and abilities however with Jobs Café, vacancies that are listed will be more targeted to the gay community and offer the security that potential employers will be gay welcoming.

‘Discrimination and harassment has no place in our community and especially our workplace. It is important to ensure that our community can work in a safe and secure environment. We are creative and diverse and a valuable resource to any employer however this creativity can be stifled if they are working in a hostile workplace’. Mr Josh O’Neill the Managing Director of Puffta Media was quote as saying.

‘For employers to get the most out of their employees it is important to ensure they feel their ideas and input is valued. If a gay employee has to pretend to avoid discrimination then you will not get the best out of this person. Gay workers make up in excess of 1 million employees in Australia and statistics prove they achieve higher education standards and are more likely to hold managerial positions than mainstream employees, this makes them a valuable resource in any industry.’ says Mr O’Neill

‘A special promotion is being run until the end of December for any employer wishing to promote a vacancy through Jobs Café. For 12 months an employer can list as many vacancies as they like for only $250.00 including GST. Typically this would be the cost of listing one vacancy in a local newspaper and therefore represents amazing value to employers’. Mr O’Neill added.

Community services and contacts will be included with Jobs Café soon so that job seekers are able to access information on employment rights, legal matters, immigration, social services and other relevant organisations and businesses.
