The Role of Business Support Services in Inclusive Employment—Kola Onafowode.

The major problem is that traditional hiring practices often leave incredible talent on the sidelines. But the good news is that inclusive employment is changing the game, and business support services are making it happen.

Picture a scenario where a veteran transitioning out of service is ready to bring discipline and leadership to their next role. Or someone with a disability may have creative problem-solving abilities that could be an asset to any team. Or there could be a justice-impacted individual determined to rewrite their story. These are all people with

untapped potential, but they often face unnecessary barriers to employment.

That’s where business support services help. From assisting companies in adapting workspaces to offering workforce solutions for veterans, these services connect talent with opportunity.

They provide practical tools, like training programs and accessibility audits, while guiding businesses in promoting inclusive environments.

And what are the benefits? It’s about more than just doing the right thing (although that’s pretty great too). Companies that embrace diversity gain fresh perspectives, better problem-solving, and even improved employee morale. Team meetings are much more interesting and fun when everyone brings something unique.

Consider inclusive employment as a win-win rather than a favor. With the proper support, businesses and employees can succeed together.
