Introducing the Enabling Mark, a national-level accreditation framework that benchmarks and recognises employers for their best practices and outcomes in disability-inclusive employment.
The Enabling Mark seeks to:
- Incentivise organisations to build a positive corporate image with disability – inclusive hiring.
- Inspire employers to adopt the best practices in building an inclusive workforce with leading organisations serving as role models.
- Inform and support organisations as they improve their inclusive employment practices.
In the application for the Enabling Mark, an organisation’s practices and outcomes in disability inclusion will be assessed over 6 categories:
|
S/N |

Workplace Accessibility and Accommodations |
Making changes in the physical work environment or existing work processes to ensure equitable access and opportunities for employees with disabilities. |

Fair and progressive human resource practices such as equitable compensation and benefits, learning development and advancement to ensure access and opportunities for employees with disabilities. |

Community Engagement and Promotion |

|
6 |
Extent of Inclusive Hiring |
Measurement of the impact of all disability inclusion efforts on the actual hiring of persons with disabilities in the organisation. |
The overall maturity level of an organisation across the 6 assessment categories would thus determine the Enabling Mark tier that the organisation will receive – Silver, Gold or Platinum, with Platinum being the highest tier.
