From our Executive Director |
Great to see such a strong representation of Wisconsin Companies at the Disability:IN National Conference. Many discussions on self-identification. Now more than ever, how people identify, as well as when and why they disclose a disability, determines workplace culture. Workforce
disability inclusion has historically been incentivized by compliance with government regulations. However, surging employee and investor demands for inclusive corporate culture is creating a new call to action for companies to modernize the collection, promotion, and utilization of voluntary self-identification data. The following report makes the case for businesses to embrace and lead the way for
disability inclusion.
Simply stated, lead by example and have people with disabilities not only be influencers but decision makes. Lead with empathy and allow voices to be heard.
