A3 Recommendations include that the application processes should be fully accessible with all relevant information advertised. Job descriptions should describe the job well and accurately and include any physical demands of the job. #Accessibility #AXSChat

A3 Employers should not ask disability or health related questions prior to offering someone a job aside from in seven restricted circumstances (see the report for more detail). #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat

A3 Candidates should be aware of why disability-related questions are asked and that they are under no obligation to answer them #Accessibility #AXSChat

A4 Establish what clear communication means across the whole of your organisation. It should not be an adjustment to know what your job is, have clear explanations, or have decisions communicated clearly #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat

A4 Consider the terminology you use around disability and workplace adjustments. Language in documents, policies, guidance and internal comms should be inclusive so that everyone who could benefit from adjustments can identify with the language used #AXSChat

A4 Senior leaders need to trust their managers to implement the flexibility in their teams that they are happy with, and which still delivers business critical results #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat

A5 Tech is critical to the workplace, but only when implemented and supported well. Speak to your end users and check their tech is working for them #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #Accessibility #AXSChat

A5 Whatever tech solutions you put in place, ensure that the end user knows how to use it! This might sound obvious, but apparently, it’s not! #BDFTechTaskforce #AXSChat

A5 During the pandemic, employees who relied on #AssistiveTech struggled. Many said they had to sort out their adjustments themselves. Find out more, businessdisabilityforum.org.uk/the-great-big-…

A5 Remove the stigma around ‘specialist disability related software' and promote as general productivity tools. They can be essential for disabled colleagues to help remove barriers, but can be useful for most people #BDFTechTaskforce #AXSChat

A6 What happens in wider society is often reflected in the workplace. Change needs to happen outside of work as well as in it #AXSChat

A6 We need to talk to each other and most importantly, we need to listen to each other. Look for progress over perfection, and support each other if we get things wrong (we’re all human) #AXSChat

A6 Kindness is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest #inclusion #AXSChat
