Inclusive Business: Through my eyes, an inclusive director
24% people in the UK have a disability so creating an inclusive workplace is critical.
Despite recent improvements in legislation there is still a huge disparity for people who are disabled. This includes lower employment rates.
Directors have legal, statutory and moral responsibilities for ensuring workplaces are inclusive for all. However, in reality it can be difficult for Directors to know where to start.
Currently 80% of disabled people have a hidden disability which covers a wide range of physical and mental conditions that are not visible or immediately obvious.
Join us for the fourth session in our IoD Inclusive Director series with insights from Catherine Riley who will help you gain awareness from her lived experiences, learn practical strategies for inclusion which you can use in your workplace to help you foster a culture where all contributions are valued.
