The Problem
Many companies realize the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion. But most focus on gender and ethnicity, paying less attention to people with disabilities.
Why It Happens
Employing people with disabilities is usually seen as a social cause, one best suited to not-for-profit or public sector organizations. This is a missed opportunity.
The Solution
Innovative companies are demonstrating that the inclusion of people with disabilities can lead to real competitive advantage in four ways: by bringing unique skills to the company, by increasing collaboration and psychological safety, by adding to a firm’s value proposition for customers, and by boosting a firm’s reputation with talent and investors.
