Respondents valued being trained by a person with a disability, and a psychologically complex symptom of informative disability training was that delegates inadvertently conceptualized disabled people as “others”.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
