What the Enabling Mark says about recipients
Organisations with the Enabling Mark are committed to building disability inclusiveness. Presence of the mark signals that the organisation is:
- Empowering The organisation or company is open to hiring persons with disabilities that have different abilities. It treats people with respect, and builds strong teams that leverage on different strengths. It values each individual and enables them to fulfil their potential.
- Innovative The organisation or company adapts jobs and services to provide reasonable accommodations to support hiring persons with disabilities. This allows for the development of greater flexibility, new insights and an innovative mindset.
- Collaborative The organisation is open to different perspectives, and seeks to make people feel integrated, included and valued. Its focus is on achieving more through teamwork, not individual effort alone. It embraces mutually beneficial relationships with employees, stakeholders and partners.
