How do you encourage people with disabilities to join your staff? Broadening your talent-seeking practices, promoting disability awareness, removing access barriers, and providing meaningful opportunities for advancement will aid your business in recruiting a talented workforce that includes people with disabilities. Combining these disability-inclusive practices while recognizing how different and overlapping marginalized identities impact the recruiting and hiring process is essential to authentically pursuing diversity in the workplace.
