What is Inclusive Hiring?
Inclusive hiring is the process of intentionally hiring people from all backgrounds and abilities to meet the labour or skills needs of a firm. Inclusive hiring is built on Inclusive Workplaces that offer employees with disabilities equal opportunity to succeed, learn, be compensated fairly, and advance as their peers. Inclusive hiring creates inclusive workplaces which in turn create more successful, productive and adaptive businesses.

Most businesses already understand the broad benefits of a more diverse workforce. But when it comes to disability, and specifically people with intellectual disabilities or on the autism spectrum, businesses may have concerns about productivity, retention, innovation and other aspects of their operations. But the evidence and Ready Willing & Able’s results since 2014 show just how impactful and beneficial inclusive hiring can be for your business and bottom line.
