A5 Business can collaborate with educators to ensure that they are communicating the skills needed to succeed in the workplace today. Whilst there’s HUGE value in the arts as it teaches creativity and critical thought we also need to give people the skills business needs #AXSChat

Can focusing solely on the business case for inclusion lead to pitfalls like microaggressions and tokenism? Discover insights from Diane Lightfoot and the Catalyst report in our latest podcast episode! #InclusionStrategy buzzsprout.com/719037/episode… #AXSChat

A1 #B2B Disability inclusion groups need to ensure that there is a good mix of executive leadership and disabled employees represented to capture the experiences & insights of the community along with the management remit to get stuff done. #AXSChat

A2 Transparency & accountability are necessary so that we know that groups that claim to represent the community are doing so from a perspective informed by lived experiences. But the issue of disability disclosure at work is still one where people put themselves at risk.#AXSChat

A4 Whilst companies are under considerable pressure to comply with a large number of regulations, it should not always be #disability & #accessibility requirements that get deprioritised when there are compromises to be made. #AXSChat

A6 Whilst it can be alluring to focus on the needs of a specific group fragmentation weakens our community. I prefer to have us all united under one big umbrella than lots of fragmented organisations fighting for relevance and funding. #AXSChat

A5 progress necessitates compromise and cancel culture is uncompromising. Even though we may not like a point of view unless it is extreme we should understand that disagreement and debate can be healthy thus try to persuade rather than cancel as that polarises further. #AXSChat

Glad to see Forbes writing about the European #accessibility act - surprised to see myself quoted forbes.com/sites/gusalexi… #AXSChat #a11y

A3 With a rapidly aging global population corporations need to think about how age & disabilities go hand in hand for their workforce & customer base. Companies need to keep hold of their talent & #accessibility helps. Design shouldn't be the preserve of the young only. #AXSChat

Hi Folks - scheduling my posts as I am in a different time zone for the next few weeks and #AXSChat takes place in the wee small hours of the morning.

A1 a good example of inclusive recruitment in the #CyberSecurity sector is the UK intelligence community where GCHQ actively encourages Neurodivergent candidates. #AXSChat

A2 People need to know how to protect themselves online, the disability community especially as they rely on digital services for day to day living for accessibility purposes. Often the community has less money so the impact of being scammed is even greater. #AXSChat

A3 People with disabilities are constantly forced to innovate just to get around barriers in day to day living. They can bring this problem solving mindset to work and deliver an innovation premium for their employers. #AXSChat

A4 Start by ensuring applicants know that you welcome people with disabilities & they can request accommodations both for the interview process and when they successfully land the job. #AXSChat

A5 Don’t rely on people to seek out information on #CyberSecurity & #DigitalSkills make information available at the places where they are likely to be anyway. A good example was digital skills training in partnership with the UK post office. #AXSChat

Neil Milliken also *mean* what you say. too often it’s safer to try to hide one’s disabilities while applying. never leads to open support #acschat

A6 People are often unaware of their prejudices training can help but in many cases storytelling by impacted individuals is highly effective. Stories make it personal and relatable #AXSChat
