Why Employers Should Rethink Disability Inclusion in Hiring
Disability inclusion is not about ticking boxes — it’s about recognising talent in all its forms. Many disabled candidates are overlooked, not because of lack of ability, but because of poorly designed job descriptions, inaccessible application processes, or unconscious bias.
Inclusive hiring helps businesses access a larger talent pool, improve staff retention, and foster innovation. Start by making your job adverts accessible, using inclusive language, and clearly stating that reasonable adjustments will be provided. Ensure your interview process accommodates different needs — for example, allowing extra time or offering alternative formats.
At Roman Jobs, we work with employers to develop inclusive practices and actively promote opportunities to job seekers of all backgrounds and abilities.
Becoming disability-confident isn’t just the right thing to do — it gives your business a competitive edge.
