Why Businesses Must Follow The Disability Inclusion Imperative
India Inc. organisations are growing aware of the many inequalities and injustices within the socioeconomic strata. Seen as drivers of social change with the adoption of key DE&I policy framework, most leaderships recognise the value of creating a level-playing field. Accenture’s Disability Inclusion Imperative report noted, “companies that have led on key disability inclusion criteria have realized: 1.6x more revenue, 2.6x more net income, and 2x more economic profit than other participants. They are also 25% more likely to outperform on productivity compared to their industry peers that have not participated in the survey, measured as revenue per employee.” Organisations which include team members with disabilities benefit from a unique set of skills, differing perspectives, improved collaborations and increased marketability. The same Accenture report also cited Microsoft’s longstanding commitment to disability inclusion and noted, “When companies intentionally foster a culture that embraces inclusion, they cultivate a more positive and supportive work environment overall.
