Supported employment is a game changer for promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By matching the skills of employees with disabilities with the needs of employers, we create a win-win scenario that benefits everyone involved. Supported employment through NGO support not only leads to long-term hiring, understanding, collaboration and productivity, but also contributes to cost savings for companies. Choosing supported employment demonstrates a company's commitment to corporate social responsibility, strengthening its reputation in the eyes of customers and partners, increasing employee loyalty and engagement. Adopting supported employment is not just the right decision, it is a strategic move that contributes to business success. Let's create a more inclusive, supportive and thriving work environment together! #SupportedEmployment #Inclusion #EqualOpportunity #WorkplaceInclusion #Effectiveness

This vision of true inclusivity goes beyond compliance with laws; it’s about creating an environment where each person’s unique strengths are recognized and celebrated. When we think about improving workforce management strategies for employees with disabilities, it’s about making this vision a reality—ensuring that every team member can fully participate and contribute. Employees with disabilities often bring diverse perspectives, resilience, and creative problem-solving skills that can benefit any organization. But too often, barriers—whether physical, technological, or attitudinal—stand in their way. By rethinking and reshaping how we hire, communicate, and collaborate, we can make sure everyone has the chance to thrive. It’s about more than accommodations; it’s about cultivating a workplace culture that values everyone’s potential. In this presentation, we’ll explore how to make our workplaces more inclusive, from accessible hiring practices and thoughtful accommodations to ongoing education and support. #disability #diversity #inclusion #TheInspiredHR 💡 #hr

InclusiviTEA Talks 🍵 Accessibility is more than a ramp! How businesses can foster inclusive work environments: Inclusivity isn’t just about installing ramps, ensuring physical spaces are accessible, or meeting quotas. It's about building a culture where every voice feels heard, and every individual - regardless of physical, cognitive, or emotional differences - can thrive! Businesses must recognize that an inclusive workplace isn’t just the right thing to do; it's good for everyone - employees and employers alike. With 23% of the UK population of working age* having a disability, businesses need to start prioritising accessibility and learn from the flexible working adjustments that had to be made during Covid. So how do we do that? Hiring practices that value diversity of experience: diverse perspectives lead to better problem-solving and creativity. Flexible work arrangements: Many people, including those with invisible disabilities, benefit from flexible hours or remote work. Open communication: Empathy starts with listening. Giving space for people to share their challenges and needs is vital. Training and education: Awareness about disabilities (visible and invisible) helps break down stigmas and empowers employees to support one another. When we create environments that value and support all individuals, we unleash the full potential of the workforce. And when we commit to empathy over optics, we truly embrace the power of diversity. Let’s continue to challenge ourselves and our businesses to make inclusivity a core value! It's not about meeting minimum requirements, but about fostering a culture where everyone can thrive. *source: Department for Work and Pensions’ Family Resources Survey [#Access image description: colourful post its on a whited table, the post it in the middle says “Diversity Equality Inclusion” and the other post its have diverse faces on them] #InclusiveWorkplace #DiversityMatters #DisabilityAdvocacy #EmpathyAtWork #Leadership #FemaleEntrepreneurs
