Rise of remote digital working transforms GCC employment prospects for PWD
The Peninsula
PwC Middle East has launched a unique report that is integral to achieving work diversity in the region and highlights a call to action for organisations to capitalise on the rise of remote ways of working, and transform the employment prospects of People With Disabilities in the GCC.
The report titled Remote-Ability examines the current situation of people with disabilities (PWD), identifies the barriers to their effective participation and provides a set of steps and interventions that will support their inclusion in the labour market. The report reveals that employment barriers for PWD in the GCC include societal prejudice, environmental barriers that obstruct mobility, institutional and regulatory policies that may discriminate against PWD, lack of skills and training and lack of access to digital opportunities.More Related News
