Accessibility and inclusion are really important to us, and in the future, we want to be sure that we are doing our best to support people living with disabilities in the workplace.
What motivated us?
Having previously supported people in the company with disabilities we wanted to shout about the fact that we would be able to offer the same support to others going forward.
Our partnerships with charities like You Make It and seeing the value of working with people who have a diverse set of life experiences
We believe that the responsibility is on businesses to take action and support disabled people in employment. It’s also an incredible opportunity to source and retain talented, skilled and hardworking staff with invaluable experiences.
As with all issues of equality, the time for social justice is always right now and growth is limited unless accessible to all. It was with this in mind that we have sought to do our part in aiding equity for the disabled community.
