At ERGOS, we are proud to announce that we are now officially registered as a Disability Confident employer. This recognition is a key milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and accessible workplace. Becoming a Disability Confident employer means that we have pledged to create an environment where employees of all abilities feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work.
The Disability Confident scheme is a government initiative designed to encourage organisations to support disabled people in the workplace. By being part of this scheme, we have committed to improving recruitment, retention, and career development for disabled employees. It’s about making reasonable adjustments to ensure all employees have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of any disabilities they may have.
What does it entail?
As a Disability Confident employer, we have agreed to take proactive steps to support disabled people within our workforce. This includes:
- Ensuring accessibility: We ensure our offices and digital platforms are accessible to all employees and applicants, adapting to different needs where necessary.
- Encouraging recruitment: We actively seek to employ disabled individuals, ensuring they are not discriminated against in the hiring process.
- Providing support and development: We offer ongoing support, career development opportunities, and tailored training to ensure everyone has the tools they need to succeed.
This initiative aligns with our broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy, which aims to create positive social impact while maintaining strong governance. By embedding inclusivity into the core of our operations, we are not only improving our organisational culture but also setting a high standard for corporate responsibility.
Tying it into our managed IT services
At ERGOS, inclusivity doesn’t stop at hiring practices – it extends to the services we provide to our clients. As a provider of managed IT services, we understand the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in technology. Just as we’re committed to supporting diverse talent within our team, we are equally committed to ensuring that the IT solutions we offer are accessible, user-friendly, and adaptable to meet the needs of all individuals.
By integrating accessible technologies and offering bespoke IT solutions, we help our clients build more inclusive and efficient environments, whether in the workplace or in their communities. Our approach to IT service management ensures that disabled individuals can access the digital tools they need to thrive, reinforcing the principle that technology should empower everyone.
Looking ahead
Becoming a Disability Confident employer is just the beginning. It’s part of our long-term strategy to partner with diverse organisations and earn certifications that reflect our commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, and strong governance. We’re excited to continue this journey, knowing that every step we take helps build a more inclusive society – both within ERGOS and beyond.
