With 21% of the working age population, and 15% of students in UK universities, having a disability most organisations recognise that they need to focus on attracting and retaining disabled individuals if they want to maximise their talent pool.
To do this, employers need to be inclusive of individuals with disabilities. However, it is easy to ‘say’ you are inclusive, it is much harder to demonstrate you ‘are’ inclusive. One of the most effective ways to bring your disability inclusion to life is via role models; current employees with a disability who share their story of how they manage their disability in the workplace and access the support they require to enable them to thrive.
