Paul Hill looks at a recent government paper that aims to tackle disability discrimination in the workplace
The government’s recent Disability Action Plan highlighted that there are approximately 1.3 million more disabled people in employment today than in 2017. Despite this growing number, there remains significant gaps in educational level, pay and prejudice against those with disabilities, according to research from Scope UK.
In response, the previous government published the ‘Transforming Support: Health and Disability White Paper’, outlining new policies, guidance and grants to support employers.
Through collaborative approaches with colleagues, and utilising modern technology and data, wholesalers can build upon existing good work by sharing exemplary best practice and key insights into developing an inclusive workplace culture, which can enable disabled employees to achieve their full potential.
