Following on from our post on May 26, regarding how you can offer an inclusive workplace environment to everyone…

It’s a good idea to conduct regular evaluations to assess the current state of inclusivity within your organization.

Assessments can include surveys and feedback mechanisms that help you identify areas that need improvement.

Any workplace inefficiencies you remedy will not only benefit employees with disabilities, they will benefit the entire workforce.

MYTH: Individuals with disabilities are more sensitive, kinder & more courageous than other people. They’re also more creative, more admirable or more conscientious.

REALITY: Individuals with disabilities are just like other people you employ – they do not possess any special characteristics. If they possess any of these traits, it’s because it’s who they are not what they are.

“Know me for my abilities, not my disability.” ~ Robert M. Hensel (poet, disability activist)

Robert Hensel (not pictured), a Guinness Word Records holder for the longest non-stop wheelie in a wheelchair, was born with a birth defect called Spina Bifida.

He didn’t let his disability define him. By focussing more on his abilities than on his disabilities, he covered a distance of 6.178 miles on only two wheels.

Not only that, in pursuit of this record, he raised enough money to fund wheelchair ramps throughout his hometown of Oswego, New York.

Imagine what YOU can do if you focus on your abilities instead of your disabilities!

Fun Fact

In 2015, a company in Iceland experimented with a four-day workweek cutting employees’ hours from 40 to 35 or 36, without a pay cut… and productivity actually went up!

Workers also found that work-life balance improved while stress went down. Since then, 90% of Iceland’s workforce now benefits from shorter hours.

Many other companies have followed Iceland’s lead with similar results.

Turns out, when people have more time to live their lives, they work better… who knew?
