In a tight labour market, every strength counts. Yet valuable talent remains untapped. People with a distance to the labour market do not always find their place automatically, even though they are often enormously motivated to get to work. Inclusive employment offers a solution - and that is not only good for society, but also for your company.
Diversity pays off
A diverse and inclusive workplace has strategic benefits in addition to a social purpose. With a broader workforce, you get to understand different people better. This not only provides new insights, but often also new customers. Companies that invest in diversity build a knowledge advantage and strengthen their competitive position.
A strong(er) image
Companies that give people with a distance to the labour market a chance show that they are more than just a business: they take their social responsibility seriously. And that is seen. Customers, partners and employees are more likely to feel connected to organisations that do business in a socially responsible way. The result: a stronger image and more loyal relationships.
Less absenteeism, more satisfaction
Research shows that inclusive organisations often have higher employee satisfaction. Teams are closer, absenteeism is lower and commitment is higher. Those who feel seen and valued put their heart and soul into it. That culture permeates the whole company.
More creative, innovative, resilient
Diversity brings together different mindsets. And that is exactly what you need for innovation. When people with different backgrounds, experiences and talents work together, new ideas, solutions and ways of working emerge.
Support and schemes
An inclusive workplace does not have to cost you anything extra as an employer. Even better: there are attractive schemes and subsidies available for employers who employ people with a distance to the labour market. Think of wage subsidies, job coaching or no-risk policies. Werkcentrum Helmond-De Peel is happy to help you with this. We ensure that you know exactly what is possible, what you stand to gain and how you can arrange it.
Anticipating laws and regulations
As an inclusive employer, you are well prepared for legal obligations such as the Participation Act, the Jobs Agreement Act or Social Return. You show that you are not waiting, but actively contributing to a society where everyone is allowed to participate.
Do you also want more diversity in your workplace? Werkcentrum Helmond-De Peel is ready to take the step towards inclusive entrepreneurship with you. We think along, organise and guide you from plan to practice. Together, we make the labour market in the Helmond-De Peel region human and future-proof.
