Our goal is aligned with the Diversity Project to move the DEI dial by driving an inclusive culture that supports and celebrates disabled employees, which will lead to happier and more productive employees, who will thrive within a proactively inclusive environment.
Whilst there is a larger dialogue around intersectionality, one of our issues is the suitability and inclusivity of the term “disability”. We have decided to use it for this workstream in order to align ourselves with key stakeholders’ decision to continue using the term when referring to people living with a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative effect on one’s ability to work.
Our 2023 objectives are:
1/ Get a further 15 Diversity Project Members to be Disability Confident by the end of 2023, taking the total to 45.
2/ Continue raising awareness and having conversations about disability and inclusive practices
3/ Continue with disability role models, and our #WeAre campaign
4/ Encourage Diversity Project Members to sign-up to 10,000 Able Interns
