Want to Address a Lack of Awareness, but Not Sure Where to Start?

Hesitation often stems from a lack of awareness. In this blog, let's unravel the mysteries surrounding disability inclusive employment with three actionable ways to increase awareness among your team.

 

Ever felt like you're missing out on something big? That's how many companies feel about disability inclusive employment. Hesitation often lurks in the shadows of the unknown, specifically, the lack of awareness. But fear not, dear reader, for today, we embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries and shed light on three actionable ways to turn your workplace into a beacon of inclusivity.

 

Cracking the Code of Unawareness

Lack of Awareness is like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces; you might be missing out on the bigger picture. So, why does this happen? Well, sometimes we're so caught up in our daily hustle that we miss the opportunities right in front of us. The first step is acknowledging the gap and understanding that a more inclusive workplace is not just a buzzword but a game-changer.

You can offer or organize "Lunch and Learn" Sessions!

Informal, enlightening, and accompanied by sandwiches, these sessions are a fantastic way to spark conversations about disability inclusive employment. Share success stories, discuss the benefits, and let curiosity take the lead. Before you know it, awareness will be spreading like wildfire.

Upload helpful info to your intranet

We all spend a fair share of our day on the company intranet. Why not turn it into a hub of awareness? Create engaging content, share informative videos, and sprinkle in a few fun facts about disability inclusion. Make it a go-to resource for your team to learn, ask questions, and dive into the world of inclusivity during their coffee breaks.

Make knowledge gain fun via inclusive challenges

Who doesn't love a good challenge? Turn awareness-building into a game by organizing inclusive challenges. From quizzes to team-building exercises, make it interactive and, dare I say, fun! This not only educates but also fosters a sense of camaraderie among team members.

 

The Ripple Effect of Awareness

By addressing the lack of awareness head-on, you're not just opening minds; you're creating a ripple effect. Suddenly, the workplace becomes a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. It's not just about ticking a diversity box; it's about unleashing the untapped potential that comes with embracing differences.

 

So, let's break the ice together. Spread the word, initiate those lunch and learn sessions, jazz up the intranet, and turn awareness into action. The journey toward disability inclusive employment starts with a single step—one that is informed, enthusiastic, and ready to make a difference.
