In a world that is rapidly moving towards diversity and inclusion, the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the mainstream labor market is an issue that gains importance every day. Despite progress, there is still a great deal of work to be done to ensure that these people have the same opportunities as the rest of the working population.
From the Foundation, through our Orientation and Employment Service, we work to make this vision a reality, offering personalized support and training for the employment of people from the group. Below we explore the key benefits of workplace inclusion, both for businesses and for society in general.
Improvement of productivity and innovation in companies
One of the most important benefits of workplace inclusion is the positive impact on productivity and innovation within companies. We're not saying this, but several studies show that diverse teams tend to be more creative and innovative.
Are you wondering why? This is because people with different perspectives bring new ideas and diverse points of view when solving problems, which enriches the decision-making process and contributes to the overall success of the company.
New talents
Another key benefit of workplace inclusion is access to an often overlooked talent pool. People with disabilities can bring unique skills that are very valuable in a variety of industries. For example, some have a strong ability to concentrate on specific tasks, a skill that can be very beneficial for certain functions within a company.
From our Guidance and Employment Service, our multidisciplinary team is responsible for identifying these unique skills of each profile and makes sure that they are qualified to join the ordinary labor market.
Contribution to Corporate Social Responsibility
Labor inclusion is a fundamental part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Companies that adopt inclusive policies demonstrate a commitment to equal opportunities and social justice, which can improve their reputation with customers, employees and society at large.
Consumers are increasingly aware and value companies that take steps to be more inclusive and sustainable. Implementing work inclusion practices can, therefore, not only strengthen the corporate image, but also attract new customers and retain existing ones.
Positive impact on the community
Workplace inclusion not only benefits people with disabilities and businesses, but also has a positive impact on society in general.
At the Ramon Noguera Foundation we are committed to this mission. During the year 2023 we formalized 44 insertions in the ordinary labor field, which demonstrates the potential that labor inclusion has to transform lives.
Our approach is based on providing personalized and appropriate support to each person's needs, with the aim of improving their personal and social autonomy, as well as their work skills.
How can your company contribute to workplace inclusion?
If you are a company interested in contributing to labor inclusion, the first step is to contact our Orientation and Employment Service. Through this we can help you identify the right talent for your organization and provide the support you need to make workplace inclusion a success.
It is important to understand that workplace inclusion is not just a matter of social responsibility; it's also an opportunity to grow your business, improve your work environment and contribute to a fairer and more inclusive society.
