Award winning Workplace Wellbeing Consultant, bringing a unique perspective, creating Wellbeing Programmes that shape inclusive, healthy, high-performing work cultures, that attract and retain talent.
Research has found that "half of jobseekers with complex disabilities don’t feel they get the support and equipment they need to look for work. We agree that many people "would love the opportunity to work, yet struggle with the multitude of #barriers which prevent disabled people from finding employment." https://lnkd.in/ePucf_xm? With our lived and professional experience, we have helped many employees to identify and secure the support they require, and have provided awareness training to managers and leaders. These are both vital steps in removing the recruitment and retention barriers to employment. There is far more that needs addressing than just focussing on 'work shy disabled jobseekers'. Tell us, what top three things do businesses need, to open up recruitment opportunities and increase retention rates of the valuable talent pool of disabled people? #InclusiveWorkplaces #WorkplaceWellbeing

4moAll people helping me in my business are disabled - not because I made it so, but just because that is the way it happened. All are great. There is really no reason we should not adjust matters a little bit, so we can all use the huge variety of knowledge, skills and experiences out there. Jane Dyer Workplace Wellbeing Consultant, I personally think 3 reasons could potentially be: 1) Lack of knowledge & understanding 2) Lack of flexibility, whether that is in people managing or the organisational set-up 3) Not caring (enough) I'm sure you can add lots of further reasons to this 😉
