Assessment Categories

In the application for the Enabling Mark, an organisation's practices and outcomes in disability inclusion will be assessed over 6 categories:

1. Leadership, Culture and Climate
2. Recruitment Practices
3. Workplace Accessibility and Accommodations
4. Employment Practices
5. Community Engagement and Promotion
6. Extent of Inclusive Hiring

The overall maturity level of an organisation across the 6 assessment categories would thus determine the Enabling Mark tier that the organisation will receive – Silver, Gold or Platinum, with Platinum being the highest tier.
