How can the job prospects of people with disabilities be improved? 13 companies, including companies from Hamburg, have been working on this question for three years. The companies involved have now drawn a positive conclusion.
In the “Innoklusio” model project, the initiators tested new approaches for the professional participation of people with disabilities. Since 2021, a total of 13 pilot companies – including Bayer, Generali and Boehringer-Ingelheim – have significantly increased awareness of inclusion among their employees and managers nationwide. In over 40 seminars, the inclusion skills of around 500 managers were trained and numerous inclusion managers were trained.
Hamburg-based Beiersdorf Group also involved
The skin care company Beiersdorf from Hamburg has apparently broken down prejudices within the company and adapted its application processes for people with disabilities. “In the future, more people with disabilities will find a job at Beiersdorf,” said Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board Manuela Rousseau. Over 2,000 employees of the companies involved visited the project’s mobile exhibition at ten locations.
Over 90 people find jobs in pilot companies
The pilot companies hired more than 90 people with disabilities. The project results are now intended to motivate other companies and support inclusion.
