In today’s competitive business landscape, creating an inclusive workplace is not just a matter of compliance—it’s a strategic advantage. Organisations that embrace diversity and inclusion are tapping into a rich pool of talent, driving innovation, improving retention, and boosting profitability. However, despite these benefits, Ireland’s employment rate for people with disabilities remains worryingly low at just 32.6%, significantly below the EU average of 51.3%.
In this episode, Síofra Mac Donald, Ibec's HR Strategy Executive, is joined by Steven Brosnan, DEI Co-ordinator at Mr. Price Branded Bargains, to discuss the critical importance of proactive inclusion strategies, particularly for people with disabilities, and the barriers that continue to hinder employment opportunities for this group.
Discover how organisations can leverage the Ibec Accessibility Toolkit to create more accessible workplaces, enhance diversity efforts, and drive positive business outcomes.
