Podcast: Inclusive workplaces - the human case for reasonable adjustments
Jen Rooney, disability inclusion specialist and founder of The Wellbeing Tortoise, explores why employers need to understand and embrace the human case for reasonable adjustments to cultivate inclusive workplaces.
Drawing on her own lived experience as a disabled person, Jen shares her thoughts and practical advice on how employers can think beyond their legal obligations; be mindful of appropriate terminology; and create recruitment practices that are truly inclusive.
