When looking for new recruits, being Disability Confident means that you are searching through a much bigger talent pool. Your organisation will also be recognised as leading the way in your sector. The act of changing attitudes and behaviours for the positive cannot be overstated.
It is not without precedent that an employee becomes disabled during their working life, either. In such a scenario, being Disability Confident can help you and your people to fulfil their potential and still contribute in full. Disability Confident also helps businesses to improve employee morale and commitment by demonstrating that they treat all employees fairly.
theICEway has started at Level 1: Disability Confident Committed. To be recognised as such, we have agreed to the Disability Confident commitments listed below:
- Inclusive and accessible recruitment
- Communicating vacancies
- Offering an interview to disabled people
- Providing reasonable adjustments
- Supporting existing employees
We have also agreed to carry out activities including work experience and work trials, paid employment, apprenticeships, job shadowing, traineeships, internships, student placements and sector-based work academy placements. The reason? We are serious about equal opportunities for disabled people.
theICEway ecosystem is made up of ICE and eTestware. Together we deliver end-to-end IT solutions.
