Ingrid Palmer the Principal IDEAL Advocate at Realize, joined Five Good Ideas to discuss the benefits of applying IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, Leading to belonging) principles in the workplace.

"Belonging is a necessary component of our humanity and no one should be denied that fact," said Ingrid. 

Ingrid's five good ideas:

1. Level up from IDEA to IDEAL. 

2. Expand your understanding of disability to include episodic disability.

3. Be aware of the nuances of intersectional barriers to employment. 

4. Accommodations benefit both the employer and the employee. 

5. There is no end to IDEAL work.
