Attraction, Recruitment and Onboarding of People with Visible Disabilities at UBS in Switzerland

Abstract

Realizing that the changing workforce demographics in Switzerland require an additional labor pool that can be tapped into is the start of a promising journey for a well-known financial institution. Missing out on talents with disabilities would imply a loss in innovation, agility and creativity and might lead to an obstructed opportunity for sustainable growth.The client is keen on introducing a long-lasting change and hence actively supported the formation of this paper. The thesis emphasizes on the essence of embedding the disability inclusion strategy in every decision that is taken by the organization. Only following this approach will lead to an effective behavioral change.
