Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we at Oerlikon want to reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace that welcomes diverse talents. One example of our dedication is a pioneering pilot project we launched in France in 2024, with the support of our professional agency team. We know that around 30% of working population on France lives with a disability, and that 80% of these disabilities are invisible. So, we confidentially engaged with employees and managers to learn from their experiences. This helped us understand how we can make our work environment more accommodating. This project in France is just one part of how Oerlikon is working to make our work environment inclusive and supportive for all employees around the world. We believe that embracing diversity makes us stronger, more innovative, and better equipped to serve our customers and communities. The image is a sunflower - a flower that has recently been recognised as a symbol for people with invisible illnesses. #IDPD #Oerlikon
