Jess Hayes, Enterprise receiving the ‘Most Powerful Personal Story Award’

Employee stories aren’t just important for employers to share when it comes to engaging with disabled students, or showcasing internally the approach to disability, they are absolutely crucial as they:

1. Bring what you say to life

2. Demonstrate that this is ‘real’

3. Can be used to show case an organisation’s culture and the support they can and do provide.

Jess’s story is incredibly easy to read and relate to for a student that has never worked before in a professional role.

James Ellery-Gower, Citi receiving the ‘Best Disability Speaker/Advocate Award’

Personal stories from disabled individuals are extremely powerful. Individuals who share their story not only show others what is possible and in doing so motivate and raise expectations, but when talking to employers they remind them of the unique talents that disabled people can and do have, and that are an asset in the workplace.

MyPlus regularly run disability employment events for employers, universities and students and we have been privileged to have some amazing speakers.

James has spoken at a number of our events over the years and has a wonderful way of taking you on his journey, articulating things that many of us wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing but in doing so spotlights the challenges and how they can be overcome them.

KPMG receiving the ‘Most Progressed Inclusive Recruitment Award’

Inclusive recruitment is absolutely key for employers who are serious about talent. Whilst ensuring your process is inclusive is paramount to success, so is your mind set.

In the student recruitment space, KPMG are doing more than the basics, they are really challenging themselves to be proactive.

Morgan Stanley receiving the ‘Most Successful Business-wide Engagement Award’

To make real, sustainable progress, an employer’s approach to disability has to be firm wide. As student recruiters you will never really make sustainable progress, or at least you will find it incredibly hard to, unless you engage with the firm as a whole and leverage the resources and more importantly your people.

Morgan Stanley has recognised the importance of being disability confident across the organisation as a whole, delivering disability training and internal events company wide.
