SUPPORTING EMPLOYERS ,
Over 7, 000 businesses have hired people with disabilities who are recognized as having access to government-supported illness services, according to a report released by the Taskforce on Promoting Inclusive Employment Practices.  ,
According to the statement, some employers choose not to employ people with disabilities because they are unaware of the benefits of diverse hiring or have limited knowledge and internal resources.
Also, close to 4 in 5 diverse companies hire only one man with a illness.
Therefore, according to the task force’s report, there is a need to help employers better tap into the pool of people with disabilities and make diverse workplaces where they can make a meaningful contribution to businesses.  ,
To do this, companies must increase the number of diverse ones in addition to supporting and expanding the choosing of people with disabilities.  ,
The state targets to increase the number of diverse employers from over 7, 000 now to 10, 000 by 2030, of which, 30 per cent may get more than one employee with disability.  ,
The task force recommended increasing help to strengthen businesses ‘ internal capacities in order to implement equitable hiring practices in this context.
This could include covering the cost to appoint, employ or engage and empower an inclusive work” hero” or in-house career coach to maintain an inclusive work environment.
The task force even acknowledged the value of leveraging existing diverse employers to increase awareness and promote diverse hiring.  ,
The work force observed in conversations with businesses that many people were unsure where to begin when it came to diverse hiring or the types of careers that were appropriate for people with disabilities.  ,
In response, it recommended expanding the pool of” champions” of inclusive hiring who could support inclusive hiring practices in six key industries.  ,
These include businesses like as information and communications, health and social services, and transport and storage.
The government may look into providing money to companies that are willing to advance the diverse hiring agenda for their efforts to increase diverse hiring among their peers or networks, according to the task force’s report.  ,
