People with disabilities are one of the most untapped and undervalued talent pools in the world.
In my recent Popsize UK interview, I was asked:
“What would you like people to know about the real potential of people with disabilities in the workforce and in society?”
Here’s what I shared:
“Only 20% of people with disabilities are employed or feel safe self-identifying at work.
That’s not about capability, it’s about fear and stigma.
Disability inclusion is complex, yes but it’s also one of our greatest opportunities.
We’re leaving out 1 in 6 people globally, 1.85 billion individuals with over $13.5 trillion in buying power.
If that’s not a reason to prioritize inclusion, I don’t know what is.”
