Inclusion of PWD’s at workplace

Abstract

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Rules, 2017, have contributed to companies not only ensuring that at least 3% of their workforce is differently abled but also providing assistive technology, tailor-made training and support systems to ensure that PWDs learn and grow in their jobs. (Shekhar, 2018). It is important to understand the extent to which organisations are responsibly creating an inclusive work environment to welcome and improve the number of PWD’s. It is also important to study the employee awareness on the Persons with Disabilities (PWD’s). Study has found that organisations need to improve employee awareness about the PWD’s and include them in the organisation. The study is an attempt to create an awareness on building an inclusive work culture. Keywords: Diversity, Inclusion, Person with Disability (PWD’s), culture
