Today, more than ever, businesses need access to a skills and diverse workforce. It has never been more important to see disabled people as an important source of talent.
Our four Employer Guides will help organisations strengthen inclusive employment practices.
These Guides have been produced from the Scottish Government funded, Apt Making It Work project. We worked with employers from a range of sectors across Scotland, along with specialist partners and people with lived experience to provide practical approaches to workplace support, accessibility and employee engagement.
“These Employer Guides give employers practical, user-friendly tools to help them benefit from the skills, experience and commitment that disabled employees and those with long-term health conditions bring to the workplace. I want to thank employers involved and SUSE for making this happen, and I’d encourage all employers to put these guides to use.”
Minister for Business and Fair Work, Tom Arthur.
