Join the Forum for Leaders of Inclusive Cultures for a session on 'Disability Inclusion'.
About this event
Disabled people are 28.6 percentage points less likely to be in employment than non-disabled people. But Scope and the Social Market Foundation have estimated that even halving this disability employment gap would boost UK output by around £50 billion a year.
Disability inclusive employment would not only improve disabled people’s job opportunities and increase job satisfaction but it would also benefit the economy and support post-pandemic recovery by providing employers with the widest possible talent pool and addressing skills shortage.
Join us for this free event where our panel will discuss their work and how organisations can build truly diverse and inclusive cultures for disabled staff.
