I shed a light on critical disabled and neurodiverse issues by writing impactful articles about disability as part of the “Visibility of Disability” awareness campaign , which helped shed light on challenges faced by disabled and neurodiverse individuals in the workplace. My advocacy also extended to fundraising efforts, where I successfully raised funds for disability charities, further supporting the community.
Additionally, I played a key role in reforming the company's hiring and induction processes. My focus was on creating a more inclusive recruitment pipeline by improving accessibility and support for disabled and neurodiverse candidates. This involved revising the interview process and onboarding programs to ensure that all candidates were provided with the necessary accommodations and support to succeed from day one. Through these efforts, I helped to enhance Gallagher’s commitment to diversity and inclusion across the UK ad EMEA. -
