Great to see 10 Downing Street acknowledge the need for organisations to adapt to employees' additional requirements to enable them access to good employment opportunities. In his speech this morning, Rishi Sunak mentioned that for those with "a low-level mobility issue, your employer could make reasonable adjustments, perhaps including adaptations to enable you to work from home." It's important to recognise that while many individuals are structurally or economically frozen out of good employment opportunities, so many of them want to work. Making workplace adaptations or supporting flexible working is not the only way to break down these barriers for people with disabilities or from other marginalised groups such are care leavers or ex-offenders. In our #GoodJobsReport, we outline many other changes that employers can make, including: ➡ Supporting work readiness programs ➡ Adapting recruitment processes to level the playing field ➡ Establishing partnerships with specialist intermediary organisations ➡ Engaging with issue-based employer forums to maximise peer-to-peer learning ➡ Increasing the representation of marginalised groups on company boards Explore the #GoodJobsProject to find out more: https://lnkd.in/e48FsyJR
