Paving the way for employers to hire persons with disabilities: EnAble India provides holistic solutions and services to companies who employ persons with disability. We conduct Disability Awareness Workshops in companies to overcome mind-set barriers about the capabilities of persons with disabilities. Further, hiring persons with disabilities promotes a diverse workforce and creates an inclusive organization. Developing workplace solutions to overcome challenges: At EnAble India, we believe that any person with disability can do any job with a feasible workplace solution and an enabling environment. A workplace solution uses a combination of (a) Assistive Technology or aid, (b) New work process/method of doing the job and (c) innovation. This helps to bridge the gap between a person's disability and the job requirements.
