Last week, we unpacked why DEI matters and how inclusion and merit go hand in hand.

Now, we discover six ways to embed IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) into your organization in thoughtful, sustainable ways.

Many employers assume accommodations are expensive or complex. In reality, most are simple, affordable, and highly effective. This misconception can prevent organizations from taking meaningful steps toward inclusion.

💡 Did you know? The average one-time cost of workplace accommodations is just $375, and over a third cost less than $100. Another 44% cost more than $100 but less than $500.

One of the biggest barriers to disability inclusion isn’t cost — it’s awareness.

“Employees don’t have to tell an employer that they have ADHD or depression…but the functional limitations to your job duties, those can be documented.”- Nadia Zaman, Employment Lawyer.

When employers focus on abilities, rather than diagnoses, they can create stronger and more inclusive workplaces. CCRW’s Disability Confidence Toolkit gives organizations the tools to approach these conversations thoughtfully and inclusively.

📌 Last week, we explored what DEI means - diversity, equity, and inclusion as a framework for building workplaces where everyone can thrive.

This week, we’re taking it further: How does DEI differ from “merit-based” hiring? Is inclusion of DEI a business advantage? What is IDEA?

📊 A thoughtful approach to DEI complements merit - it doesn’t compete with it. And organizations that invest in it often see stronger teams and better results.
