Would you not be thrilled to be part of a company that values inclusion and accessibility!? The organisation would believe that diversity drives innovation, and commit to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and empowered. Did you know? The ‘purple pound’ represents the spending power of people with disabilities. By embracing inclusivity, a company not only taps into this missing market but also fosters a culture of empathy and understanding. Have you any thoughts of companies currently doing this? #ThursdayThoughts #InclusionMatters #DiversityandInclusion #AccessibilityMatters

In the wake of SHRM’s questionable and disheartening decision to remove Equity from their language (and likely subsequent strategic plan) - this graphic is worth a few words. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it references ‘inclusion,’ but the very same can be said about equity. Equity is not a linear path. Equity is not a quick win. Equity is not a check the box. Equity is not failing because of what ever gaslighting excuse you choose to spit for the day. Equity and inclusion both take time, patience and commitment. Trial and error. Baby steps to success and sustainability, and require continuous evaluation. I’m currently in the process of finalizing an RFP for equity strategy development and my heart feels lighter knowing that while these organizations that claim to live by certain values are shying away behind the guise of challenge due to change, there are real change-makers out there dedicated to truly impacting systemic inequities. This work is hard. No doubt; however, being reactive and backing up is a whole word.

Here is a great visual about inclusion. What it is is understanding what comes in your way and making an effort to adjust and accommodate in order to create a framework for living together productively.

The journey towards becoming an inclusive organisation is not straight forward, but is so worth the effort to ensure all #DisabledPeople feel welcome in your business, as employees or customers. 💜👍 Visit: PurpleTuesday.Co to see how we can help you to become more accessible today! #PurpleTuesday #Disability #InclusionMatters #Accessibility #Inclusion

Every organization needs to see this. It is never as anyone believes. It takes time, consistency, effort, assessments, reassessments, restarts, etc...

Inaccessible: Equality- Everyone recieves the same support, regardless of need. Accommodation: Equity - Individuals given different support to enable access Accessible: Inclusion - Everyone has access. No need for support #Wellness #weareabillionstrong #Disability #Inclusion #Accessibility

One tip that has helped me: take a few deep breaths before you walk into the meeting to help you relax!! #specialeducation #disability #inclusion #epilepsy #theinclusivedad
