Reconciliation Action Plans: An Introduction
You may have heard the term “Reconciliation Action Plan” (RAP) thrown around, but what exactly is it? In short, a RAP is a document that outlines a company’s commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. RAPs are voluntary, but they are an essential way for businesses to show their support for reconciliation.
There are many reasons why a business might choose to develop a RAP. The industry may want to increase its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce. Maybe the company wants to build better relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suppliers. Or perhaps the business wants to create a more inclusive workplace for all employees. Whatever the reason, Community Involvement Solutions can help!
