American Psychological Association’s Post

I have seen firsthand the transformative power of an inclusive workplace. Creating an environment where all employees feel valued and supported is essential, not just for the individuals directly impacted but for the entire organisation. I am often asked by employers how they can shift the perception on disability in their organisation. There are so many ways to do this, but I feel that by far the most important way is to BELIEVE employees with disabilities. Trust their experiences and respect their needs. When an employee discloses a disability or requests an accommodation, take their words seriously. This fundamental act of trust and respect lays the groundwork for a truly inclusive and supportive work environment. #disability #workplace #shiftperspective #inclusion

I believe this is basically the key to make employee relations success.✨ Showing flexibility and demonstrating that you look after your people is crucial to create a positive work environment, promote inclusion and guarantee employee satisfaction.
