Winter can be especially challenging for many disabled employees.

Flexible working, clear communication and regular check-ins can make a real difference. Inclusive wellbeing support benefits individuals, teams and organisations alike.

Disability inclusion is a journey. Purple’s Disability Inclusion Framework guides organisations from awareness to meaningful involvement of disabled people. Real inclusion takes commitment and action.

#DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #InclusiveLeadership #PurpleTuesday
Informational graphic titled “How can your business benefit from The Purple Disability Inclusion Framework?” showing four phases: “Awareness” helps businesses spot access barriers that limit customers and revenue; “Understanding” gives clarity on what leads to these barriers and how they can be avoided; “Involvement” ensures solutions work in practice by involving disabled people directly; “Engagement” embeds inclusion into daily operations to foster loyalty and improve reputation.

Snow and ice don’t affect everyone equally. As people return to work this January, winter weather can create real access barriers for disabled people.

Inclusive workplaces adapt with clear routes, flexibility and communication.
