Caroline Casey, The Valuable 500 – Why disability is our business: how to make change happen
Episode 7, May 22, 2020, 09:00 AM
Joining Michael Hayman this week is campaigner for disability inclusion Caroline Casey. Remote working may be the new norm for many, but in this interview Caroline says that this is the way many people living with disabilities and mobility issues have had to live for decades. She questions why it took businesses so long to catch on, and shares an exciting vision for the future where work practices are built by and for disabled people, not to inhibit their potential.
Caroline Casey is an activist with a global call to action, who says if disability is not on your board agenda, then neither is diversity. With The Valuable 500, she put disability inclusion on the main-stage agenda at the World Economic Forum for the first time, and continues to call on 500 global corporations to recognise the social, economic and business value of the one billion people living with a disability.
