Setting the scene for inclusion

Click on the below accordion to learn more about setting the scene for inclusion.

Go early

Your initial conversation with clients is an opportunity to discuss all things recruitment.
So don’t feel you need to have a separate conversation about disability, inclusion and accessibility.
The earlier the conversation is started, the better.

Set Expectations

Let your client know that the candidates you put forward will reflect the diverse communities we are a part of, including those with disability.
Let them know you will only put forward people who you think have the capability required and are a good fit for their organisation.

Point to the business case

Any organisation would be excited about candidates with fewer sick days, greater retention rates and equal or higher productivity.
Let them know that research tells us people with disability are good for business.
