EFD's Disability Standard is the only business-led benchmark that measures an organisation’s performance on every aspect of disability as it affects business. If your organisation is a member of EFD or a previous Disability Standard participant, please spare a few minutes and tell us how we can improve our assessment tool by filling in our online survey. You can be anonymous.
Senior business leaders have joined forces in a unique taskforce launched by Employers' Forum on Disability. The Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology is calling for technology to deliver its promise of making it easier to employ, and do business with, disabled people.
More about the Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology
Many people associate disability with visible, physical conditions and impairments. Yet many disabilities are not immediately apparent. For example, 10 million people are covered by the Disability Discrimination Act, but fewer than 5,000 blind and partially sighted people own guide dogs. It can be difficult for employers to know what non-visible disabilities are.
EFD's members are part of a unique network of organisations that share best practice on disability.
We work with our members to help them make the business case for disability and become more disability confident with practical and expert advice.
Member benefits include access to training, events, publications and our information service Disability Directions.

"We are very proud of our long association with Employers' Forum on Disability. They help organisations become disability confident by championing equal opportunity in the workplace to ensure everyone can achieve their potential.
