Videos: Inclusive Employment Series

Fear is often what holds employers back from employing people with disability – but this doesn’t need to be the case.

The first video introduces the concept of inclusive employment and how it can be achieved in today’s workplace.

“It’s wrong to assume that … you will get people with lived experience of disability in a pool of candidates, because of the barriers to education and employment that people with disability face.”

Learn from people with disability what makes a job ad inclusive, in video 2 of our five-part series on inclusive employment.

• Don’t make assumptions about what someone can or can’t do.
• Provide interview questions ahead of time.
• Ask if there are any adjustments needed for the interview, or to do the job.

For more tips on how to ensure your job interviews are inclusive, watch video 3 in our five-part series on inclusive employment.

“Create that environment where people are willing … to share some of the ways in which they need … adjustments or accommodations put in place to be able to do their job successfully.”

In the fourth video of our five-part series, we share practical tips and examples of how to make your induction process inclusive.

• Challenge your unconscious biases.
• Disability is just part of the broader experience of diversity in the workplace.
• Provide inclusion training to all staff.

Our final video shares tips on how to make your workplace culture more inclusive.
