Disability and inclusion : an intense week to raise awareness and support employment

In November, Consort Group has strengthened its commitment to disability inclusion through concrete actions, particularly in France. This mobilization is part of a global approach carried out throughout the year, but took on particular significance during the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH).

 

 

 

Disability and inclusion : an intense week to raise awareness and support employment

Inclusion : a commitment written in Consort's DNA

Since its creation in 1992, Consort Group has defended an inclusive vision in which diversity, equal opportunity and respect for individuality are essential pillars. This commitment is reflected on a daily basis :

Open and diversified recruitment, valuing the skills of all profiles.

Individualized support, adapted to the specific needs of employees, especially those with disabilities.

Responsible partnerships, favouring suppliers aligned with our values.

With the signing of the HandInCap Charter in France in 2018, Consort has strengthened its efforts to integrate, support and keep people with disabilities in employment, while raising awareness of these crucial issues among its teams.

A week full of initiatives

From November 18 to 22, 2024, all Consort employees in France were mobilized around numerous events and activities, whether they are convivial, sportive or informative.

Webinars to help you better understand the challenges of disability in the workplace.

– Face-to-face and remote awareness-raising sessions, with adapted teaching tools.

Interactive quizzes, encouraging learning in a fun way.

Video testimonials, giving a voice to those who experience, question or support disability.

Solidarity breakfasts, organized with partners such as Café Joyeux.

Inter-company competition, highlighting sport as a vehicle for inclusion.

Dedicated web page, featuring information, resources and engaging content.

 

Each initiative has helped to create sincere exchanges, tear down prejudice and promote the inspiring career paths of disabled employees, in a way that is adapted to each environment.

Whether in Paris or in French regions, all our teams worked hard to make the week a success. Through a variety of adapted formats, Consort demonstrated that inclusion is everyone’s business.

“Thank you for a successful and enriching presentation!

“A fun quiz that changes the way we look at disability in the workplace.

These testimonials, collected in the heat of the moment, reflect the positive impact of the actions undertaken, while reinforcing the desire to go even further.

 

Why is this mobilization essential?

🟢 To inform and raise awareness of the realities of disability.

🟢 To question our preconceptions and go beyond clichés.

🟢 To talk, listen and find concrete solutions.

🟢 To take action and build a truly inclusive work environment.

At Consort, we believe that every action, no matter how small it is, takes part in moving the lines. Together, let’s keep on working towards a more inclusive society.

 

Assessment and outlook: a long-term commitment

While this week has been marked by strong mobilization, Consort has no intention of stopping there. Disability remains a central issue to be addressed on a daily basis. These events are intended to be repeated, to evolve and develop internationally, with actions adapted to the needs of the Group’s employees and partners.
