This paper examines the workforce profile of Amaze, an autism assistance services organization operating in Victoria and Queensland. It analyzes the current workforce's strengths, internal promotion limitations, and the organization's reliance on external hiring due to an abundant applicant pool. The paper also addresses the future workforce profile in the context of a planned expansion of fifteen new employees, highlighting how Amaze prioritizes cultural fit and personal values over prior experience, supported by comprehensive on-the-job training and a strong external supply of motivated candidates.
The current workforce employed by Amaze is, by all accounts, more than adequate to perform the tasks and operations necessary at the organization. Though the company is expanding and will be able to hire fifteen new employees — and also has vacancies to fill most years of its operation — the supply of workers desirous of gaining employment at Amaze far exceeds the organization's demand for new staff. This means Amaze has a great deal of control over both the internal and external elements of hiring and promotion, as well as considerable choice when it comes to filling any position within the organization.
The internal supply of workers is largely tapped out. While the workforce is highly qualified, experienced, and performs its roles in a manner that meets or exceeds expectations, individuals at the organization are also well-suited to and satisfied with their current positions. This makes internal promotion or lateral movement to fill vacancies and new positions both undesirable and an inefficient way to meet current workforce planning needs.
