FOUR ACTIONS The study reveals four key actions that organizations can take to attract, hire, retain and advance diverse talent: 1. EMPLOY: Organizations must ensure that persons with disabilities are represented in their workplace. Beyond hiring, employers should implement practices that encourage and progress persons with disabilities. 2. ENABLE:Leaders must provide employees with disabilities with accessible tools and technology and/or a formal accommodations program. 3. ENGAGE:To foster an inclusive culture, organizations must generate awareness- building — through recruitment efforts, disability education programs and grassroots- led efforts (for example, an employee resource group). 4. EMPOWER:Organizations must create empowering environments for employees with disabilities through mentoring and coaching initiatives, as well as through skilling/re- skilling programs, to ensure that they continue to advance and thrive.
