What does it mean to be an inclusive business?

Does your business practice diversity and disability inclusion? An inclusive business promotes equal employment opportunities for all individuals — disability or not. It is a business that understands that people with disabilities brings skills and talents to the workforce just like anyone else.

An inclusive business is one that practices recruitment, retention and promotion of individuals with disabilities.

Check out the chart below for a sample inclusive business checklist.
