Three (3) essential tips for workplace adjustments.

Workplace adjustments are essential for creating an inclusive environment where all employees can thrive! In the lead up to International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) on Dec 3, we're sharing three tips to ensure you are providing people with disability the right tools and support to perform their roles effectively: Tip 1: Streamline the process! Implement a centralised workplace adjustments process that is simple and appoint a designated workplace adjustments officer to coordinate requests. Tip 2: Empower your managers by providing disability confidence training and resources for all line managers. Be sure to offer ongoing support! Tip 3: Listen and build trust. Actively listen and believe employees when they ask for adjustments and avoid interrogation. Foster a safe environment by encouraging open dialogue about workplace needs and challenges.

💼Neurodiversity in the workplace: Why it matters Does your definition of workplace diversity include disability? And does it go beyond physical disabilities to also include neurodiversity? The answer for most organisations is likely “no.” Studies estimate that the unemployment rate for neurodiverse adults runs as high as 30-40%. Why does it make sense for organisations to embrace neurodiversity in the workplace? 👉https://lnkd.in/gnCMBEqu #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #ThisIsND

With 83% of disabilities being acquired during a person’s lifetime, it’s essential for employers to rethink their approach to supporting newly disabled employees. Research shows that less than half of employers offer adequate physical health support, and even fewer provide comprehensive mental, social, and financial assistance. Effective communication about available resources and making necessary workplace adjustments are key to retaining employees and creating an inclusive work environment.

Disability and Work: It’s About Attitude, Not Just Rules The government says they’re changing the rules on benefits to help more disabled people get off them and into work. But the real issue isn’t just the rules it’s the attitudes toward disabled people that need to change. Businesses in every sector need to think differently about how they approach employment. Offering more hybrid and remote working options could make such a difference. Just because someone can’t leave their house doesn’t mean they can’t do an incredible job working from home. Disability doesn’t mean inability. Yes, sometimes we do things differently, but it’s the attitudes of managers and leaders that really matter. A supportive, flexible approach can open up so many opportunities for everyone. #DisabilityAndWork #AccessibilityMatters #InclusionAtWork #ChangeTheAttitude #RemoteWork #HybridWork #DisabilityAwareness #WorkplaceInclusion

Almost 1 in 4 working-age adults in the UK is classified as disabled. And although reasonable adjustments are more than legal compliance, they actually benefit everyone. Inclusive workplaces foster a more supportive, productive, and diverse workforce. For example, flexible working is a win for all! ✅ For employees with disabilities, flexible hours can help manage health conditions. For everyone, flexibility boosts work-life balance and reduces stress. Results? Happier, and more productive employees, all round. #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth #Disability #Inclusivity #Accessibilty #ReasonableAdjustments #InclusiveHiring
