‘A 2023 report by Accenture found organisations that implement leading practices for employing and supporting people with disability have 60% higher revenue, more than double the net income, and recorded profits twice as high as companies that do not.’ Now, perhaps recklessly, I haven’t yet gone back and cross checked references and context before sharing. I will. Sure, maybe commercial stability makes it easier to implement disability inclusive employment practices. But, even removing certainty about the *degree* of commercial advantage (research has repeatedly shown good disability employment strategy does drives business improvements), it’s clear that having disabled talent in your team is good for business. If you’re not actively implementing disability led, data-driven change initiatives to attract, support and retain disabled talent in your patch, why not? Beyond the human rights implications of exclusionary practices, the answer to your workforce depth of talent and supply problem is perhaps right there in front of you. Have a read - the Australian Disability Network has some great resources and services to help, too.
