We start this episode with a spoiler-free chat about one of our favorite ever contestants on the Great British Bake Off (#gbbo)! A well-introduced accommodation has had a major impact on the show already, and relates to the importance of full access and challenging the assumption of incapability can lead to amazing results in entertainment, and real life.
Then we move to a wonderful discussion between Sean Luechtefeld (ANCOR) and Leslie Wilson, Executive Vice President of Global Workplace Initiatives at Disability:IN. Sean and Leslie discuss how companies benefit when they diversify their workforce by hiring people with disabilities, how providers and advocates can help make the business case for inclusive hiring, and touch on some innovative programs that are improving outcomes regarding the hiring of people with disabilities.
