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

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

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

In today's time (especially after COVID) it's become even harder to get a job. And when it comes to #PersonWithDisabilities, more than knowledge and talent it becomes about #Awareness #Accessibility #Inclusion #Diversity and what not! . I know there are tons of organisations and even online portals which promote #Diversity and #Inclusion, what we need is more and more awareness and empathy around it. . #CerebralPalsy #Reels #Awareness #Disability #PwDs #PersonWithDisabilities #DisabilityAwareness #Inclusion #Diversity #FeelKaroReelKaro #FeelItReelIt . Do you agree?

Inclusion is being inclusive yourself

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.

Although people are beginning to understand the need to make their digital platforms accessible, there are still many myths (or excuses) that circulate surrounding why they aren’t making this the case. Our blog debunks some common misunderstandings: https://zurl.co/Azn7 #A11y #Accessibility #DigitalAccessibility #Disabilities #DisabilityInclusion #Disabled #Inclusion #InclusiveDesign #WebDesign #WebsiteDesign #Developer #WebDevelopment

International Accessibility Day reminds us to make the world easier for everyone to use, including people with disabilities. It's about creating equal opportunities and ensuring no one is left out. Also it's not just about helping;it's about unlocking potential and ensuring no one gets left behind. #accessibility #IDPD2024 #Inclusion #Empowerment #Accessibility #Disability Awareness

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.
