Ep 14: Inclusive recruitment: Narrowing the disability employment gap

Guest speaker: • Kate Headley, Director, The Clear Company, UK Government Disability & Access Ambassador for the Recruitment Industry We've got to get better at drawing people into work from some of the backgrounds where employment rates are not as high as they should be. One longstanding issue is that our disability employment rate is much lower than we'd all like it to be. What can we, as an industry, do to narrow the disability employment gap? Hear Kate Headley, Director of The Clear Company, as she takes us through the role of the Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative (RIDI) and her mission as the UK Government's Disability & Access Ambassador for the Recruitment Industry in the latest episode of our podcast. You'll hear about: • Why Equality, Diversity & Inclusion – specifically relating to disability - means so much to Kate • Her ambitions for her government-appointed role as Disability and Access Ambassador for recruitment • The role of recruiters when it comes to fair and ethical recruitment of people with disabilities • How recruiters can work with clients and support candidates from a range of backgrounds • What companies like Page Group and FCA are doing to promote disability employment • What changes need to be made to internal hiring and people development strategies.
