Thursday 30th January; 9.30am to 10.45am
Virtual workshop

With one in three people affected by disability, fostering disability inclusion is essential to every organization’s culture and operations. Rather than treating it as an 'extra' or an 'add-on,' disability inclusion should be seamlessly integrated into the fabric of daily business practices. However, disability is a vast and nuanced area, and starting on the path toward a fully inclusive workplace can feel overwhelming.

This workshop will provide essential guidance on creating a disability-inclusive workplace, offering foundational insights to embed disability inclusion seamlessly into your organization’s culture. We’ll delve into the core aspects of disability and employment, examining both the challenges faced and the opportunities for fostering a supportive, inclusive environment.

Participants will gain a well-rounded understanding of disability from social and legal perspectives and learn about the unique contributions disabled individuals bring to organizations, including diversity of thought, resilience, and innovation. Additionally, we’ll discuss the importance of workplace adjustments to ensure all employees can thrive.

This workshop will be invaluable for those at the start of their disability agenda and are wondering where to begin, as well as for those who are further progressed and wish to check in on their progress and approach. It will be particularly insightful for anyone responsible for the EDI strategy and implementation at all levels.
