Does your organisation want to improve disability inclusion but is not sure where to start?

In the latest episode of The Learning Post - a podcast from UK Aid Match - we speak to MannionDaniels team members Micaila Vivier (HR Manager) and Chin Okonkwo (Performance and Risk Manager). They discuss how MannionDaniels has been supporting disability inclusion and offer useful tips for others looking to strengthen disability inclusion within their organisations.

“Absolutely, we take this from the very beginning, from the interview, and we are very open to make reasonable adjustments to ensure workers with disabilities, or physical or mental health conditions are not substantially disadvantaged when they are applying for the job.”
