6 Disability Inclusion Tips with Becky Curran

I interviewed disability inclusion advocate Becky Curran about how employers can attract and retain talented employees who have disabilities. In her role as director of the Disability Equality Index as Disability:IN, she manages a benchmarking tool that businesses can use to rate their disability inclusion policies and practices. Here are her top tips for improving disability inclusion.

1. Include the word “disability” in diversity statements

2. Tell people they can request an accommodation

3. Improve physical accessibility

4. Improve digital accessibility

5. Consider the ways accessibility benefits everybody

6. Hire lifelong problem-solvers
