Inclusively Uses Technology to Build Diverse Workforce with Inclusive Accommodations

Written by Hilary Vece on . Resources.

Inclusively is a workforce inclusion platform connecting job seekers with employers who are committed to attracting and retaining previously hidden talent.

“Diverse organizations lead their peers across multiple business indicators including 22% lower turnover rates, 28% higher revenue, and 39% higher customer satisfaction,” said Tiffany Meehan, Vice President of Marketing at Inclusively.

People with disabilities are often discounted as unemployable and negatively affected by application screening as well as concerns employers have about providing accommodations.

Job seekers provide their requests for the accommodations they will need for both interviews and in the workplace during their registration process on the Inclusively platform. This information is automatically shared with employers, and every person the job seeker interacts with are committed to meeting necessary accommodations. In some cases, training is provided to hiring managers or other employees to answer questions they may have.

“This is what sets us apart: our candidates trust us with their information because they know we’re working on their behalf to ensure they’re set up to succeed from the very first interaction.” said Meehan. “We believe putting accommodations upfront is the key to fostering trust and inclusion in the workplace.”

“Changing a workflow or process at a large company often takes both commitment and persistence. We’ve found that it usually takes a bold leader to champion the cause, ensure its success, and then amplify early wins to inspire the broader organization to scale things up,” said Meehan. “The bottom line is that if you build an accommodating and inclusive culture, you will create engaged employees which leads to happy customers, and finally higher revenues from those happy customers.”
