Comment on your experience and the value added to your business by hiring employees with disabilities.
We have always been committed to giving people a chance. Our workplace team comes from many different places, often overcoming their own challenges to secure employment and contribute positively. Our people have many different viewpoints, which adds a great value to our day-to-day work and team spirit. We meet many job seekers who suffer from anxiety, depression and physical disabilities. We feel that if these people are shown support, guidance and encouragement, then great opportunities can be created.
What would you say to an employer who has never hired people with disabilities?
Sometimes a small gesture can make a huge difference to someone, rekindling their faith and making them feel valued. Showing belief in people can be the biggest investment you can make in a person’s development. In our opinion, being inclusive is the best way to develop a sense of community and retain an enthusiastic and loyal team.
What does an inclusive workplace look like for you?
An inclusive workplace looks much the same as any other, but the ‘feel and culture’ of the place is very positive, with fewer workplace clashes and drama, and a feeling of genuine support as well as a desire to contribute in a loyal and positive way.
