SA’s biggest disability workplace readiness expo, summit draws closer─── 09:30 Wed, 30 Apr 2025
Disability Connect is South Africa’s leading portal for news, perspectives and general information regarding disability in the workplace. Chris Buchanan joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Family Focus to motivate you to live life without limits.
Disability Connect hosts South Africa’s Biggest Career and Workplace Readiness Expo for People Living with Disabilities and an annual summit, which is taking place in May.
In conversation with Yolanda Maartens, Managing Editor of Disability Connect, Chris Buchanan, tells us more:
Building an inclusive workplace for people living with disabilities is vital, and to start, it is important to create a positive culture around disability. This enables people to feel comfortable disclosing their disability and be confident in their ability to thrive in their role without discrimination.
Not all workplaces cater for the average person living with a disability. Chris Buchanan points out the importance of bridging the gap in the workplace by having people understand and see the needs of those working with disabilities and then ensuring equality from there.
