Attendees will come away with an understanding of:
- The experience of neurodiversity and disability in the workplace;
- Why it is important for employers to consider the needs of NDW;
- What is remote working?
- What role can remote working play in accommodating NDW?

Disability in the Workplace - The hidden talent pool
The hidden talent pool: why businesses are ignoring disabled employees. Why are 75% of businesses globally experiencing a talent shortage while 47% of disabled people in the UK are unemployed? That’s over 10% of the working-age population. Disabled people are an untapped talent pool, often ignored by EDI strategies. The disability employment gap is growing, currently at 29.8%, and businesses need to do more to support disabled colleagues present and future. During this webinar, Alice Hargreaves, COO and Co-Founder of SIC covered:
- Disability in the here and now
- The language of disability
- Societal bias
- How to appeal to disabled talent
- How to retain disabled employees
- The next steps to becoming an ally
