Disability networks

Disabled staff networks are a vital method of sharing disability best practice.

Creating a disabled staff network will empower your disabled staff members. Staff networks also allow non-disabled staff members to benefit from disabled employees' experience.

A network may act as a consultative group when looking to improve accessibility, or simply be a tool for disabled staff to air their views and concerns. A network can also offer vital support to disabled staff from their peers.

Such networks have proliferated in companies as business recognises that getting it right for disabled staff means getting it right for everyone.

Disabled people are increasingly being valued for the experience and innovation they bring to the table.

At EFD we hope that business will continue to learn from disabled staff and customers.

We believe that to learn from disabled people, business must listen, and the creation of disabled staff networks is a highly effective way to do so.
