Lead with Inclusion Manager's Guide
The Lead with Inclusion e-book guide serves as a strategic roadmap for Aotearoa New Zealand managers to move beyond legal minimums and embrace disability inclusion as a driver of business success.
With 1 in 6 New Zealanders identifying as disabled and less than half of that population currently employed, organisations have a massive opportunity to tap into a skilled talent pool that can increase revenue by up to 28% and boost employee productivity by 72%. The guide emphasises providing "reasonable accommodations"—often low-cost adjustments like flexible hours or assistive software—while actively dismantling unconscious biases in recruitment and career progression. By fostering a culture of "Nothing About Us Without Us," businesses can improve innovation through "design for extremes," ensuring products are accessible to the global $13-trillion disability market while building a dedicated, high-performing workforce.
