Global guides

Why do our Global guides reflect best practice?

Globally, an estimated one billion people have a disability (that’s 15 per cent of the world’s population).

Half of the organisations that we support at Business Disability Forum are global, between them, employing more than eight million people all over the world. Increasingly, our membership tells us that they want to get it right for employees and customers with disabilities wherever they are in the world and many are involved in our Global Taskforce.

These guides provide a one-stop, best practice resource for global organisations, with up-to-date guidance, as well as practical examples of how businesses can successfully recruit and retain people with disabilities – with top tips on how to make and provide adjustments in a clear cycle diagram.

From the best language to use to attract candidates to how to effectively support employees with disabilities and long term health conditions, our guides are created for personnel, human resources, recruitment and training specialists as well as matrix, project and people managers in global organisations to help them in every step in the disability talent recruitment and retention journey.
