Disability and neuro-inclusion for businesses

Overlook disability. Overlook opportunity.

Many businesses in Thailand are missing out on the innovation, culture of belonging and increased profits which come with neuro-inclusion. Don’t be one of them.

Steps’ team of disability inclusion specialists are experienced across the business, education, and third sectors. We’ll help you maximise the opportunity to be at the forefront of disability inclusive practices.

What is neuro-inclusion?

15-20 percent of the global population is considered to be neurodivergent. Neurodivergent people include those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and other ways of thinking which differ from what is considered typical.

Neuro-inclusion is the notion of designing workplaces or other spaces so they are accessible to all, including neurodivergent people

Disability in the workplace: the stats

  • 15% of the global population has disabilities (World Bank, 2021)
  • 50-70% of people with disabilities in developed countries are unemployed while more than 80-90% in developing countries are unemployed (UN, 2015)
  • If people with disabilities were included in the workplace the GDP would create between
    $1.37-$1.97 trillion annually (ILO, 2018).

The benefits of becoming disability and neuro-inclusive

Creating a diverse workforce is not just another KPI, it is creating value for your employees through engagement, passion, and dedication. Build a story for your organisation that every single employee will be proud to tell.

Beyond that, the business case speaks for itself.

The business case

Innovation that is truly inclusive for all types of people and customers comes from having a diverse workforce – think voice recognition!

Businesses that hire persons with disabilities and foster inclusive cultures report bottom-line benefits that show proven ROI

l

Studies show that working alongside people with disabilities makes non-disabled individuals more aware of how to make the workplace more inclusive for everyone. 

Staff turnover is also lower, by up to 30 percent.
