Why is Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the workplace important? There is a persistent disability employment gap in the UK. Data shows only half of people with disabilities are in employment compared with more than 80% of non-disabled people. Yet CMI's research found only 22% of those who recognised this gap said their organisation was taking steps to increase representation of people living with disabilities.
We need tangible actions to overcome the barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from participating in the economy. What more can employers and managers do to utilise all the talent available in our workforce?
The key to inclusive leadership is to learn from lived experiences of disability in the workplace. In this documentary, participants share their real testimonials on making necessary adjustments to create accessible workplaces.
