Bringing disabled employees into an inaccessible work environment is setting them up to fail. Denying necessary accommodations is setting employees up to fail. Setting your employees up to fail sets your business up to fail. Accommodations and accessibility aren't just disability inclusion buzzwords, they are vital factors to success.

If you're a people manager, HR professional, or are an individual contributor, I would highly recommend signing up to this webinar series, "Getting it right for every employee" from the Business Disability Forum! So often in our society, the process of obtaining reasonable adjustments is underused, stigmatised, and/or unnecessarily complex or time consuming. According to the BDF Great Big Workplace Adjustments Survey 2023, only 10% of disabled employees across the United Kingdom found it easy to get the adjustments they needed, and 1 in 8 employees have to wait more than a year for them. It is a commonly held belief that workplace adjustments are cost prohibitive, however in truth, the majority of workplace adjustments do not incur any cost to businesses at all! I believe in transforming not only the experience of requesting workplace adjustments, but also attitudes towards them. That's why I'm looking forward to hearing from Diane Lightfoot and Sam Buckley as we strive to make the workplace, work for everyone. #disability #disabilityinclusion #disabilityawareness #diversityandinclusion #diversity #diversityequityinclusion #dei #deib #inclusion #inclusionmatters https://lnkd.in/eqnvF4Nv

🌟 Empowering Conversations: HR's Role in Disability Support🌟 Had an insightful chat recently with some close friends who shared their workplace experiences as disabled employees. Unfortunately, they've faced challenges with their line managers not fully grasping the importance of reasonable adjustments in the workplace. So, as we were meeting this weekend, we planned out effective ways to assertively communicate these needs to the business. Today, they reached out to share some fantastic news! Their company's HR department recently rolled out inclusive manager training, signalling a positive shift towards supporting disabled employees. The response from HR to my friend's meeting with their line manager was nothing short of brilliant. It's incredibly heartening to see HR genuinely backing up their commitment to support disabled employees, working collaboratively to ensure that everyone's needs are met. This experience has been a refreshing reminder that HR isn't just about protecting the interests of the business; they're also must champion inclusivity and support for employees. It's a testament to the progress being made in fostering inclusive workplaces. Let's keep celebrating these wins and pushing for more inclusive practices in every workplace! 🎉 What best practices can HR demonstrate to support disabled and neurodivergent employees?

Data, collected by WorkL from over 60,000 organizations in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland is used to provide insight into how happy people are at work and, importantly, what #employers can do to support their #workforce. This report paints a picture of a workforce with a ‘disability workplace divide’ - people with #disabilities suffer a high flight risk - they’re more likely to want to leave their jobs than people without disabilities. Similarly, we are also seeing risk to their #wellbeing and they have the lowest score when it comes to their confidence in management.
