The Ability Factor: Employing people with disabilities makes good business sense

People with disabilities represent an untapped pool of skills that can enhance business.
However, people with disabilities frequently face greatbarriers to work that go beyond physical obstacles -- stereotypes and wrong assumptions often prevent this significant chunk of the world population from contributing to the economy.
This animation was jointly produced by the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Global Business and Disability Network and the ILO/International Finance Corporation (IFC) Better Work partnership.

Employing people with disabilities isn't charity--it's good business.

It’ll be great if the video talks out the content to be accessible to persons with blindness. The silence excludes the community.

[@bipsy_]

@@beyondabilitytalentsolutio7614 that's very deep thinking,

[@marykeefe]

Suggestion: adding audio captioning to this video will make it more accessible

[@surifilan]

marykeefe I agree ! And for some countries, adding the audio captioning will be easier to catch up the intention of the audience and make them focus if we show this video in the public seminar.

[@denisepelletier1859]

Great clip! The conversations need to start taking happening freely if we want mindsets to shift.

[@brokenquill9277]

A video on disability that’s no accessible to the blind. Good job.

[@ILO]

Thank-you for pointing this out. We had uploaded sub-titles in many languages, but not the English captions. This has now been done.

I almost have my doctorate degree with a lot of diverse experience while overcoming the barrier of epilepsy and getting a job is very difficult.

Would you call abled ppl resources? Nope. You'd just call them ppl.
Stop calling me a resource. It's actually dehumanizing. I'm a person, not a job morale-booster or a spice to make a company more appealing.
