Tailored support for unique needs
Every individual’s needs are unique, and Orange Business recognizes and respects this. Whether it's allowing an assistance dog in the workplace or providing a modified car for wheelchair storage, the company strives to accommodate each person's requirements. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
Empowering through dedicated training
Orange Business offers various training programs to support colleagues with disabilities. The “Accessibility Accreditation Visa” provides actionable steps to improve digital accessibility. Additional training includes:
- Unconscious Bias Training
- International Gender Equality Visa
- Diversity Together
These programs are designed to foster an inclusive culture and ensure that all employees feel valued and supported.
Technology for accessibility
Orange Business is also committed to making technology more accessible. Assistive technologies can unlock previously untapped talents and create a workforce that better represents those with disabilities. For instance, the Confort+ browser extension enhances the user experience for individuals with motor, visual or cognitive impairments.
Support for hybrid work
In line with its inclusion policy, Orange Business has paid particular attention to employees with disabilities, especially in the context of hybrid work. HR teams have developed collaborative tools to support home working and have set up comprehensive support systems, including psychological and occupational health services. The disability integration team works closely with managers to ensure that disabled employees receive the support they need.
Global initiatives
In Brazil, the company hosted a virtual job fair specifically for people with disabilities, creating more opportunities for employment.
Séverine Sanchez, France Diversity and Inclusion Manager, shares her perspective: "My personal experience shows that this is a place where each individual can grow despite disability. I have been able to work on various projects and develop my skills in several domains. People with disability approach things in their own way. This is also a great asset for the company. We believe in creating opportunities for all."
Orange Business is proud of its efforts to create an inclusive environment where everyone can succeed. The company's commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities is unwavering and continuous in striving for a workplace that values and respects diversity in all its forms.
