This year, during the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities, our Disability Inclusion Team hosted two standout events that left a lasting impact on our employees: 🎙️ Our panel discussion, "Daring to Be Yourself in the Workplace," featured inspiring stories from three colleagues. They shared what it means to embrace authenticity at work - whether daring to speak openly about disability and health, pursuing unique career paths, or simply being themselves. 🏅 Timothée Adolphe, double silver medalist at Paris 2024, joined us with his guide, Jeffrey LAMI. Together, they shared their journey - stories of resilience, teamwork, and lessons that transcend sport and can be applied in every workplace. These conversations reminded everyone that inclusion is about creating space for everyone to thrive, no matter their background or abilities. They also emphasized the importance of perseverance, adaptability, and teamwork in overcoming challenges. And we’re not stopping here. We’ve just launched a new e-learning course on disability inclusion to challenge biases and provide practical tools for building a truly inclusive workplace. Inclusion indeed starts with awareness but grows through action - let’s keep this momentum going!   Hélène Cambournac, Reza Maghsoudnia, Pascale Hardy-Amargil, Romain GARILLI, Sacha Sicoli, Eva Zambelis, Pauline Fognini, Juline Lachheb, Manon Oudin, Agathe Debry
