In recent years, the landscape of recruitment has undergone a profound shift, driven by a collective recognition of the immense talent and potential that exists within diverse communities, including individuals with disabilities. At SThree as advocates for fairness and equity, we are witnessing significant strides towards creating a more inclusive workforce, one where every individual, regardless of ability, is valued for their unique skills and contributions. The journey towards inclusivity within recruitment is multifaceted, involving concerted efforts from employers, recruiters, policymakers, and today we thank advocacy groups like The Butterfly for this. At SThree, we're committed to inclusive employment and will be driving multiple programs to lead the same this year in our MENA region focussing on the below : Awareness and Education: Increasing awareness and understanding of the abilities and potential of people of determination. Accessible Recruitment Processes: Re-evaluating our recruitment procedures to ensure they are accessible to individuals of all abilities. From designing inclusive job postings to providing reasonable accommodations during interviews and assessments. Partnerships and Collaborations: By partnering with disability advocacy organizations like The Butterfly and working with some phenomenal partners; we are gaining valuable insights and resources to support individuals of determination. Technology and Innovation: Learning about including assistive technologies and accessible digital platforms to revolutionize how recruiters engage with candidates with disabilities. While there is still much work to be done, the progress we've made reflects a collective commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable society. As stakeholders in the recruitment industry, it is incumbent upon us to continue advocating for positive change, championing diversity, and fostering environments where all individuals can thrive and succeed.

Have you seen sunflower lanyards where you live? The Sunflower Program shines light on invisible disabilities and allows people with hidden conditions get the support they need (if and when they need it). My son has his sunflower lanyard too and we use it when out and about. In Copenhagen, you can see the sunflower symbol in multiple places - the airport, the zoo, shopping centers, and many others. And if you need a lanyard, you can get one for free in any pharmacy. No questions asked. 1 in 6 people in the world have a significant disability. Most of them are hidden. If you see someone using the lanyard, keep your eyes open - they may need help, a little more time to finish an activity, or just some understanding and a kind smile. #disability #disabilityinclusion #inclusion #equity #diversity #inclusiveleadership
There are over 16 million disabled people in the UK. And up to 80% have a non-visible disability. That's nearly 13 million individuals whose disabilities may not be immediately apparent. Together, let's create a world where everyone is seen, heard, and valued. Please share this post 🌻 🌐 https://bit.ly/3JVe0b7 #BeSeenWithSunflower
