What if one of your organization's greatest opportunities to strengthen its workforce is a talent pool you've been overlooking?

People with disabilities bring valuable skills and perspectives to the workplace, yet many organizations still approach disability inclusion primarily through a compliance lens. Building a more inclusive workforce requires looking beyond hiring to how employees are supported, developed and given opportunities to succeed.

Drawing on ALULA's experience creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities, this session will explore how organizations can make disability inclusion a meaningful part of their talent strategy. You'll hear lessons from abilIT, a technology career training program for neurodivergent adults, and examine how employers can remove barriers within their existing talent and Total Rewards practices.

You'll learn how to identify opportunities to improve accessibility, support individualized career development and measure the impact of inclusion efforts using workforce outcomes such as retention and employee engagement. Leave with practical ideas for connecting disability inclusion to both employee opportunity and organizational performance.
