Company bosses are being urged to snap up bright and ambitious candidates by looking beyond any of their physical challenges.
The rewards would be an enhanced workplace with loyal and determined employees that a disability rights leader believes the private sector may be currently missing out on.
“More effort is needed on an individual level to educate people about people with disabilities to give them a genuine opportunity to build a bright future,” said Bahrain Mobility International Centre board chairman Adel Sultan.
“Some candidates may need support such as wheelchair space, or adapted cars, which can make employers hesitant.
“That is why greater awareness in the private sector is so important, to show employers that people with disabilities can have tremendous potential and be just as efficient as an abled-bodied colleague, if not more so, and to give them a fair chance.”
