We are proud to announce we are Disability Confident Committed.
The Disability Confident programme, conceived and operated by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), aims to help drive diversity and inclusivity in organisations of all shapes and sizes across the UK.
7.6 million people of working age in the UK are disabled or have a health condition. Through being Disability Confident Committed, we will ensure that disabled people and those with longer term health conditions have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
Under the programme, GBM commit to:
- Ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to everyone
- Promoting our vacancies and communicating with potential employees
- Offering an interview to disabled people
- Anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments as required
- Supporting any existing employee who acquires a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work
- Hosting at least one activity that will make a difference for disabled people
