We're Disability Confident Committed
There are 7.6m working age people who have a disability or health condition. We’re tapping into this talent pool.
Rawcliffe's has joined over 15,000 other organisations and signed up to HM Government's campaign; Disability Confident.
"Disability Confident organisations play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. They’re changing behaviour and cultures in their own businesses, networks and communities, and reaping the benefits of inclusive recruitment practices.
The scheme helps employers recruit and retain great people, and:
draw from the widest possible pool of talent
secure high quality staff who are skilled, loyal and hard working
improve employee morale and commitment by demonstrating that you treat all employees fairly
It also helps customers and other businesses identify those employers who are committed to equality in the workplace."
