This column explores the value of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) can be a framework in towards finding a more effective solution to the great resignation which has become a real issue in the war for talent.
Today, the calendar turns to October and the United States highlights National Disability Employment Awareness Month . This year more than perhaps any other in recent history is a time where we need to look at the very intention of this inclusive principle and see that it can have an impact even beyond the community it was intended to serve.
This innovative strategy begins with the central idea echoed in the Department of Labor’s theme for NDEAM 2021, “America’s Recovery: Powered by Inclusion”. Not only are the varied contributions of persons with disabilities a fundamental cornerstone to the lifeblood of the American economy, but they offer a glimpse into the tools needed to endure these tough times and look towards a brighter future to enhance organizational growth.
To answer these questions, it is important to think about what persons with disabilities can teach C-level executives about employee engagement. When it comes to employment, persons with disabilities have always wanted to feel a sense of belonging, a need to feel their contribution matters giving them a greater sense of identity and meaning.
Corporate leaders should engage this community further to not only look at how to better communicate more comprehensively but see this community as key stakeholders in defining what true inclusive leadership can look like in a post-pandemic world. The disability community within corporate culture should be the link toward amplifying critical elements such as psychological safety, greater employee support, to how these various new work arrangements are reshaping the very landscape of work itself.
On this, the start of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we should see it as a time where this not only amplifies the contributions of persons with disabilities within the world of work but a mechanism for change that offers a solution to the great resignation and helps uncover a new philosophy of work in the years ahead.
