This report has been a labour or love, and one I am excited to share to support businesses and policy makers to drive change.
I travelled to North America and around Europe visiting:
Washington DC to talk all about inclusive AI at MEnabling conference.
Ithaca, New York State to talk to Cornell University about inclusive HR and employment research.
New York City to chat with disabled founders, Heads of Accessibility and People Teams.
Austria to learn about Zero Project and meet global change makers in disability equity.
The Netherlands to shadow the awesome Accessibility team at ING bank.
And Paris to look at the global difference within the same organisation, country to country.
The report has culminated in four key themes, presenting the latest thought leadership on
Reasonable adjustments
Senior leadership and Employee Network Groups
Global policy making
AI and HR technology
As we await the Autumn budget from our new Labour Government, we are expecting to hear more about the governments mission to get more disabled people into employment. It’s important to recognise the social and business culture barriers that prevent many disabled people from being employed, or even setting up their own company. Many of the recommendations talk about wider social changes, and access to information, services and support that would benefit a wider range of people.
I’m looking forward to talking more about the findings, and would welcome opportunities to share this research with wider networks and organisations- please do reach out if this is of interest to you!
Thank you to everyone who got involved in this research, whether you were interviewed, facilitated conversations, hosted me or suggested the best place to get coffee- the support and love from the wider business and disabled community was hugely appreciated.
This is only the start!
