Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Managing Disabilities in the workplace is an issue that affects more people than you think:
“Ageing is a synonym for increased levels of disability and health conditions”
The Importance of Inclusive values for retaining talent in an organisation
“The number one reason or the number one aid if you like, to the successful retention of people with disabilities within the workplace was that actually the organisational values were inclusive ones”
Focus on what people can do, not what they can’t do
“If I give a blind person who reads braille, a book in braille, they’re not disabled”
