Hire a Disability Officer and take the opportunity of diversity with integrity. #DontDismissDis
Chronically Capable is proud to announce a new partnership with C Talent, a talent agency that represents d/Deaf and Disabled artists globally. Together, we believe that in order to change society, we have to learn to tell and listen to a new set of stories about the world that we want to create, using authentic voices and accessible workplaces.
Why hire chronically ill and disabled talent? The proof is in the numbers
Businesses that actively seek to employ people with disabilities outperform businesses that do not. According to a report by Accenture and DisabilityIn, disability inclusion champions achieve 28% higher revenue, double the net income, and 30% higher economic profit margins. They also achieve 90% higher retention rates and a 72% increase in employee productivity.
The Disability Equality Index was completed by 247 companies in 2020. Top scoring companies included:
We strive to normalize people with disabilities being experts in things beyond disability.
Why should production companies hire a Disability Officer if they already have a DEI officer?
HIRE WITH US
While 90% of corporations claim to have DEI policies in place, disability is rarely included. The time is now to include disability in conversations relative to diversity, equity, and inclusion. A Disability Officer’s purpose is not just to prevent on-screen mistakes, but to advance the seamless integration of the disabled community in all areas of an organization and make fundamental changes to dated practices.
Adding a Disability Officer to your leadership teams promises to make this a reality. We must go beyond compliance and have someone with lived-in, front line experience to promote and champion disability inclusion.
