We operate in an emerging market with limited competition. The concept of Disability Inclusion is still a relatively new idea in Nigeria, with few organisations actively providing specialised services in this area. Stanforte Edge stands as one of the leaders in corporate disability inclusion service provision in Nigeria providing practical and business-driven solutions.
With the Nigeria Disability Act mandating corporate organisations to implement diversity and inclusion policies, there is a high demand potential for our services as companies seek to comply with legal requirements and adopt disability inclusion strategies.
This service focuses on helping organisations create comprehensive and inclusive policies that ensure the full participation of persons with disabilities. Our team provides expert guidance in crafting policies that meet legal requirements and promote equity and inclusion in the workplace or public services. The process involves assessing existing policies, recommending adjustments, and offering continuous support to ensure compliance with the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, passed into law in 2019. We also advise on strategies to aid an inclusive culture within organisations.
The Disability Accessibility Audit evaluates how accessible an organisation’s physical spaces, digital platforms, and services are for persons with disabilities. Our audit includes a thorough assessment of buildings, facilities, websites, and communication tools to identify barriers that may hinder accessibility. We provide detailed reports with practical recommendations for making necessary modifications, ensuring that your environment is compliant with national and international accessibility standards. This helps organisations become more inclusive and welcoming to persons with disabilities.
Our training programs aim to build awareness and competency around disability inclusion. We offer customized workshops and seminars for employees, top management, and other stakeholders to equip them with knowledge of disability rights, inclusive practices, and communication skills. These training sessions cover topics like understanding different types of disabilities, the importance of reasonable accommodations, and understanding conscious and unconscious bias. The goal is to empower workplaces to embrace diversity and create a more inclusive workplace culture.
Through our community projects, we design and implement programs that directly benefit persons with disabilities. These initiatives often focus on improving employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and promoting disability rights. We collaborate with local communities, state governments, and other stakeholders to identify areas of need and deliver impactful projects that drive societal change.
This service helps businesses and organisations understand the needs and preferences of persons with disabilities as consumers. Our market analysis includes researching trends, evaluating consumer behaviors, and identifying untapped opportunities in the disability market. By understanding this important demographic, companies can better tailor their products and services to be more inclusive, ultimately expanding their market reach. We provide actionable insights to help businesses innovate and align their offerings with the needs of persons with disabilities.
Our recruitment services help organisations attract, hire, and retain talented persons with disabilities. We assist in creating inclusive recruitment practices that remove barriers and ensure equal opportunity. This includes advising on job descriptions, conducting inclusive interviews, and identifying suitable candidates. Additionally, we provide support in implementing reasonable accommodations in the workplace, ensuring that persons with disabilities can perform their jobs effectively. Whether it’s modifying workspaces, providing assistive technologies, or adjusting schedules, we help organisations create a supportive work environment for everyone.
