The ILO Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) Self-Assessment Tool is a comprehensive instrument designed to assist businesses in evaluating their current level of disability inclusion and identifying areas that require enhancement. This tool offers a thorough assessment of workplace accessibility, recruitment procedures, employee retention strategies, and other critical facets of disability inclusion. By utilizing this tool, your business can gain valuable insights that pave the way for the creation of a more inclusive work environment for all employees.

Aligned with the Ten Principles of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) Charter and guided by the fundamental principles that underpin the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the ILO GBDN Self-Assessment empowers businesses of all sizes and locations to establish actionable priorities. This initiative seeks to define and implement best practices that not only benefit the business itself but also contribute to the well-being of individuals with disabilities.

The ILO GBDN Self-Assessment offers local business leaders the opportunity to:

• Champion equality, accessibility, and inclusion for individuals with disabilities, whether they are colleagues, potential colleagues, customers, or valued stakeholders.
• Cultivate a corporate culture that exudes confidence in addressing disability-related matters and fostering inclusivity.
• Act as advocates and allies for systemic reforms that foster broader economic and societal inclusion of people with disabilities.
• By engaging with the ILO GBDN Self-Assessment Tool, businesses can proactively undertake measures that drive positive change, enhance diversity, and cultivate an environment that embraces the full potential of individuals with disabilities.
