Interview with a person with a disability working in an inclusion company:
“I would say the perfect working environment. First of all, it has to be a good team that you get on with. Then, of course, as I said, the environment has to be right. And of course the financial remuneration. (...) But I think the way things are going here now is perfect for me. Because, as I said, I think it's good that there are companies like ours that have brought integration companies like ours to life, that have created them. No, and yes, it's been like this for me for 23 years now, but it's exactly what I wanted.”
People with disabilities should speak for themselves.
They can work multipliers speaking to companies on how they could potentially be integrated.
Everybody has something to offer beyond the skills listed in a job description.
To achieve true inclusion, we should focus on an individual's skills and what they can offer, rather than solely trying to match them to advertised positions. Emphasize their abilities and motivation, adopting a possibility-oriented approach.
Newcomers should feel valued and part of the team from the outset.
Create an initial ritual to welcome new workers to foster a sustainable integration into the new working environment.
