Our disability response to Covid-19 In 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that over one billion people live with a disability globally, which impacts 1 in 7 of us. Further insights showed that people with disabilities had been disproportionately affected. Throughout the pandemic, we are proud to have continued recruiting for global roles, however, we also acknowledge that individuals might need greater levels of support during this time. For the interview process, we greatly encourage anyone to let us know if adjustments are needed to empower you to bring your best self to the interview. We also have an Employee Resource Group (ERG) to support our people who identify with a disability (visible and non-visible), cares for someone with a disability or wants to be an ally. Additionally, accessibility support is also provided to anyone who indicates that this is required. Our internal committee, LifeWorks, is also available to all our people and is dedicated to supporting and being present to discussions around mental-ill health, physical disabilities and finance.
At RS Components we want to support the well-being of our employees through this difficult time. To do this we have developed a site of material that helps our employees to Keep Connected through the Covid-19 crisis. It's never been more important to stay connected to the communities that we are a part of. In developing this site, we thought, why don't we share it with our wider community and make it open to all? We know our employees have friends, family members and wider contacts that could also benefit from the material. This site is now available to anyone with great top tips to help with finances, leadership, homeschooling and so much more Check out our Keep Connected site, we hope you find it useful
