MINDful Project

📣 🌐 Globally, over one billion people live with disabilities and are more active and engaged in society than ever before. However, employment rates remain low, and many barriers still exist. Including people with disabilities in the workforce is not only the right thing to do, but it's also beneficial for businesses. It's a "win-win" situation, where businesses, individuals, and society as a whole all stand to gain. Here are the 4 key benefits that disability inclusion offers in the workplace 👉 https://lnkd.in/d2WK2NAD #MINDfulProject #InclusiveWorkplace #PwHVPD

📣 Promoting inclusivity in today's diverse workforce is crucial to ensure that employees in the workplace feel valued and empowered, giving them the opportunity to contribute to the fullest in achieving business goals. An inclusive environment fosters equality and leverages diverse talents, enhancing productivity. However, despite ongoing efforts, significant gaps remain — according to UN data, over 80% of people with disabilities remain unemployed worldwide. This highlights the need to integrate disability support into the workplace and create equitable work environments.
