Studies indicate that workers with disabilities are more likely to stay in jobs longer, reducing high turnover costs. Nearly half of workplace accommodations made for individuals with disabilities can be implemented at no cost to employers, and those that do occur are often a one-time cost of approximately $300.

Today marks the beginning of #DisabilityHistoryMonth and it’s a good time to look at how we can support disabled people into employment. So what can employers do to create a more inclusive workplace? • Improve accessibility: physical and digital solutions like ramps, elevators, ergonomic furniture and assistive technology make navigating tasks easier. • Offer flexible work arrangements: flexible hours, remote work or modified tasks help accommodate people with different disabilities and energy levels. • Provide disability awareness training: educating staff creates a culture of empathy and reduces stigma. • Implement inclusive hiring practices: accessible job descriptions, inclusive language and emphasising skills over physical abilities will help you attract more disabled applicants. • Establish clear support systems: support networks like Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and buddy schemes create a community environment where everyone is valued. We can help you support your disabled workers with our ergonomic assessments.
