Disability Employment Network - Changing needs

With the advent of the new style of managing disability employment JobReady Solutions last year developed a totally new system to suit the new processes and business model for a DEN provider.

The JobReady+v8 system for DEN closely follows the case management requirements set out by the department and allows your consultants to work flexibly with their clients while allowing management to keep a close eye on monitoring performance throughout the organisation.

If you provide DEN services in conjunction with for example JobNetwork you can combine the systems and give better employer service and achieve higher placement success, while still maintaining separation between the different sides of the business and safeguarding the privacy of your DEN clients.

Automatic downloads

JobReady+v8 will automatically download your data from EA3000 so that you will not have to re-key any jobseeker data between JobReady and EA.

Claims reminders

JobReady allows you to build a claims schedule for each jobseeker and will automatically remind you about any claims that become due.

Timekeeping

JobReady allows for a simple and easy way of keeping records of time spent on all jobseeker contact in support of your claims.

Post-placement support

You can use the advanced PPS features of the JobReady system to enable you do PPS with your DEN jobseekers more easily.

Finance control

You can drive complete control of all your expenditures through the JobReady+v8 system. JobReady will ensure that approvals procedures that you set up internally are upheld at all times.


Vocational Rehabilitation Services

JobReady will soon be releasing a new version to support the upcoming Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

A number of providers have recently been successful in obtaining contracts for this service.

As we get closer to the commencement of the VRS contract JobReady will provide more detail on all the features in JobReady+ to support VRS in a future edition of JobReady Insight.


If you have been successful in tendering for VRS please contact us now (michaelp@jobready.com.au) to find out more on how JobReady+ can support the case management of the different client streams as required by DEWR.
