Intersecting identities: Focusing on individual’s needs and potentials

All people have several facets of their identities that intersect, and all of them affect a person’s life and work experiences – negatively or positively. This session aims to highlight the need for and importance of taking into account people with disabilities’ intersecting identities at the workplace to unleash their full professional potential. Speakers will discuss how disability intersects with other identify facets like gender and ethnicity and share the initiatives that employers can adopt to make their workplaces more inclusive for anyone – independent of their identity.
