More and more, businesses are valuing an inclusive culture. With 20% of working age adults (25 and over) having a disability, it’s crucial to start building accessibility into your business. Focusing on disability alongside other priority areas in your inclusive culture is a key practice at leading inclusive organizations.
By including disability in your inclusion efforts, you are signaling that your organization is on track to becoming a leader in practices that foster more innovation and financial stability.
Not only is it the ethical thing to do, but inclusive companies are 120% more likely to hit financial targets.
The 35 questions cover categories including hiring and retention practices, employee benefits, physical and digital accessibility, organizational culture and metrics. For larger organizations, you might need information from your HR or People team, Facilities, and IT systems administrators to answer some questions.
