The Work Couch: Disability inclusion at work (Part 2): Narratives, reasonable adjustments, and the business case for accessibility, with Samantha Renke

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.

Content warning: The following content deals with some challenging themes around disability discrimination.

Given the theme of this year's Disability History Month is disability, livelihood and employment, the Work Couch takes a deep dive into disability inclusion at work in a three-part mini-series with actress, writer, broadcaster and disability rights campaigner, Samantha Renke.

In part two, Sam talks to host Ellie Gelder about:

• problematic narratives around disability;
• the financial pressures facing the disability community;
• making reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities;
• unconscious bias and intersectional nuances; and
• why disability inclusion should be a priority for the C-suite and business leaders.

Join us for the concluding part to this mini-series next week when we will look at what genuine accessibility at work looks like. You can also listen to Disability inclusion at work (Part 1): The lived experience, with Samantha Renke here.
