The Disability Equality Index can be a game-changing tool to internationalize corporate inclusion benchmarking! With such efforts towards equality, we can root for a more inclusive corporate landscape. #DEI #disabilityinclusion #workculture

Disability:IN’s research on #Inclusive business performance, #BoardDiversity disclosures, and Disability Equality Index® data have been used by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP) to demonstrate the business community’s role in promoting sustainable economic development.

It's disheartening to see companies touting their commitment to disability inclusion while internally overlooking qualified disabled employees. Despite my experience and passion for inclusive communications, I've been sidelined within the organisation due to being disabled. It's time for companies to move beyond superficial gestures and create genuine opportunities for disabled individuals to lead and contribute. #DisabilityInclusion #Ableism #Equity #WorkplaceCulture #HiddenDisabilities #WorkplaceEquality #HumanResources #BusinessLeadership Image Description - Caroline Belden says: “Working towards equity and not just equality requires acknowledging this discrepancy, and seeing another person and their situation clearly enough to understand that what works for one does not work for all. It begins with understanding that there are some in our society who have yet to be seen, and not for lack of trying nor for lack of worth.”

The 2024 Disability Equality Index® report reveals progress in disability inclusion for businesses, but also highlights areas for improvement. There's been an increase in companies publishing diversity reports that include disability data, ensuring digital products are accessible, and having company-wide disability-focused goals. However, there's a lack of boardroom inclusion and supplier diversity spending. #AccessFirst #DisabilityEquality #Inclusion #Progress

It's crucial to recognize that any conversation about disability and inclusion must include the voices and perspectives of disabled individuals themselves. Excluding them from these discussions not only undermines the essence of inclusion but also perpetuates misconceptions and stereotypes. Their lived experiences provide invaluable insights into the challenges they face and the accommodations needed to foster genuine inclusivity. Let's ensure that our dialogues about disability prioritize representation and amplify the voices of those directly affected, paving the way for a more equitable and understanding society. #DisabilityInclusion #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #RTXADAPT

For diversity and inclusion to actually include all, all must be represented and included; if not, then it's not real diversity and inclusion. #diversityandinclusion #diversityintheworkplace #diversitymatters #lgbtqia #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #genderneutral #diversityequityinclusion #diversityequityinclusionbelonging

This new legislation - Equality (Race & Disability) Bill focuses on ensuring equal pay for disabled people and ethnic minorities by making it easier for people to bring claims.
