Creating the perfect CV

Disability inclusion

Allows everyone to have equal rights in society – including the workplace. Having a job or career is a standard part of life for many people, but there can be barriers in place that make it difficult for a person with disabilities to find and retain employment. Taking an inclusive stance can increase workplace opportunities.

In this guide, we'll explore the key aspects of disability in the workplace in-depth, providing insight into how inclusive company policies and working styles tend to be (or tend not to be), as well as showcasing key data. We’ll also look at what methods companies can use to ensure a more inclusive culture. By making disability inclusion a priority, businesses can help drive motivation, engagement, and talent retention at work.

Here are some of the stats that you can learn from this piece:

Just 52.3% of disabled people are in employment. However, the number of disabled people in employment has risen 25,000 since last year.
The majority of employers (84%) believe disabled people make a valuable contribution to the workplace, with 76% welcoming disability training for all employees.
Disabled people are more likely to work in part-time or flexible roles – either due to preference or lack of access to full-time work. 31.4% of people with disabilities work part-time, compared to 23.1% of non-disabled people.
The increase in redundancies during the pandemic hit disabled employees especially hard. Between July and November, 2.1% of disabled people were made redundant, almost double the percentage of non-disabled employees.
