Why accessibility is an Integral Part of Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity is about hiring a wide range of diverse candidates. Equity is about recognizing that each person has different circumstances and allocating the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Inclusion refers to how the workforce experiences the workplace and the degree to which organizations embrace all employees and enable them to make meaningful contributions. But have you considered the accessibility aspects in these areas? What does accessibility entail? Let’s find out more together about accessibility and digital accessibility.

Corporate Culture: An Excuse for Biased Leaders?

In a world that is changing. promoting the acceptance of diversity and an inclusive approach in every aspect of life, in corporations we still talk about a shared cultrure. Is this culture designed based on common values that are cultivated within the organization? Or is it an "excuse" for leaders to continue hiring the people that remind them most of themselves, and are -consequently- easier to manage? Being biased is more "normal" than what we believe. Neuro science helps us understand and deconstract the myth of bias being a malpractice of leadership, but still leaders need to constantly get trained in reviewing their biased and creating a working environment of justice and development opportunities. It is a matter of human rights, afterall, and leaders should rise to this high purpose, more than anyone else.
