Social Equity’s ABCD Framework for Disability Inclusion at the workplace
- Awareness Creation & Capacity Building: We can develop customized programs to create awareness and sensitize your employees at all levels. The focus of such initiatives is to dispel myths and negative stereotypes about persons with disabilities and to work with them. This is achieved through formal and informal initiatives based on organizational requirements. Similarly, we can develop capacity building programs as per the requirement.
- Build an Inclusive Eco-system: Inclusion at the workplace is sustainable only when a supportive environment is created, which is conducive for the hiring of People with Disabilities and also integrating them comfortably / easily within the organization.
- We can help you develop the ‘Equal Opportunity Policy for People with Disabilities’ as per RPWD16 mandate and review and (if needed) tweak existing policies to make the sync with EQ Policy.
- We can help your facility become completely accessible by
- Conducting an Access Audit of the physical infrastructure of your facility and providing relevant recommendations to enhance accessibility for all types of disabilities as per GOI’s guidelines
- Auditing your company’s website, portals, and digital assets and provide recommendations to make them accessible as per GOI’s guidelines.
- Helping you build processes to promote an inclusive organizational culture
- Connect (Hire Right Candidate for the role) – Organizations want to hire individuals who have adequate qualifications and skills to perform a particular job. If you are wondering how you could identify the right candidate with disabilities, we can support you with the necessary know-how to help in the selection of the candidate with disabilities that is ‘right-fit’ for the role. Social Equity’s framework for hiring is developed based on global practices used by successful companies globally. Our range of services in this area include inter-alia job-analysis & mapping, training of recruitment and hiring teams, placement support for hiring persons with disabilities as per identified roles, preparing the managers and the team members to work with a colleague with disabilities.
- Develop & retain employees with Disabilities – Employees with Disabilities have the same aspirations as any other employee, and organizations should ensure that they have equitable access to develop and grow in their careers. There can be structural or behavioral hindrances; the employers must identify them and provide equal opportunity to the employee with disabilities to develop and the grow as per their potential. Social Equity can support your organizations in developing career development and retention processes for your employees with disabilities.
