Today, at the International day for Persons with Disabilities, we like to show you examples of companies and organizations working on inclusion, that activate our minds.

An important step towards inclusion is inclusive communication. Making sure you communicate in the most inclusive way is very relevant for your customer segment and (future) employees. Going beyond recruitment, marketing and branding by making all your communication - both internally and externally - as inclusive as possible and welcoming all diversities.

Let's take a look at Barclays: at its website you can find a wide-range of support for people with different accessibility needs, from practical tools such as assistive technology for the visually and hearing impaired to advice on how to manage finances if you or a loved one has a disability. It also offers third-party bank accounts for those who may need additional support with accessing their finances, services to help with dyslexia and dyscalculia and those with dexterity challenges. This opens Barclays to a far broader customer base and boosts its reputation. It makes business sense.

The Nike FlyEase laceless shoe was inspired by a man with cerebral palsy but has been purchased by many more disabled and able-bodied customers.
MagZip, a system that enables zipping with one hand, was designed for a man who had dementia and is now used by brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Moncler, and Under Armour, whose related jackets are favored by cyclists.
