As we begin to wrap up the month of October, we still recognize October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) – a time to acknowledge the value that individuals with disabilities bring to the workforce and to promote inclusive workplaces for all. Let’s continue building spaces where everyone’s talents can shine, fostering cultures of belonging, and removing barriers that prevent people from thriving at work. 👏 #NDEAM #Nationaldisabilityemploymentawareness #Inclusionforall

This Disability Employment Awareness Month, let's focus on removing barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from fully participating in society. Independence and equal opportunities should be accessible to everyone. Some ways we can ensure we remove barriers and create opportunities: Attitudinal barriers: don't see just the disability - see the person and the talent they bring to the place Environmental barriers: Make spaces more inclusive, from sidewalks to doorways. Institutional barriers: Challenge discriminatory policies and practices while creating more awareness Communication barriers: Ensure information is accessible for all, including captioning and sign language.

As a Presidents Group member, Fairware actively participates in the #PledgeToMeasure initiative, which focuses on disability inclusion in the workplace. As part of this, we participate in the annual survey, publicly disclosing our data to promote greater accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe in fostering a workplace culture that encourages self-disclosure and recognizes the contributions people with disabilities make to our communities and workplaces. We know barriers still exist in employment, and by tracking and sharing our data, we hope to create more accessible opportunities for all.
