never goes unnoticed and all employees can work towards getting the future they want? According to three Capgemini colleagues with different disabilities, it starts with a culture of openness, inclusivity, and accessibility.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-group undefined section section--article-content\"><div class=\"article-main-content\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-11 col-lg-10 offset-md-1 offset-lg-1\"><div class=\"article-text article-quote-text\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-the-workplace-accessible\"><strong>Making the workplace accessible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Marta-e1650275454293.webp?w=199\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697350\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Marta Zaj\u0105c is a Junior Project Manager for Capgemini\u2019s Cloud Infrastructure Services, based in Katowice, Poland. She has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic condition that causes muscle weakness. She says that being open about her disability and her needs helps to create a more accessible and inclusive workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was diagnosed when I was three,\u201d she says. \u201cAs a wheelchair user, it has a big impact on my day-to-day activities, and I have personal assistants to help me live the life I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, the physical space of an office or other workplace can be a challenge. Doors might be too heavy to move, or scanners for security badges are too high to reach from wheelchair level, or reception desks are too high. I now have a wheelchair with a lift to raise the seat, but before that, even coffee machines were too high for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe great thing is that Capgemini puts a lot of effort into expanding employees\u2019 horizons, sharing information and creating awareness around disability, alongside other topics such as how we can all be more eco-friendly and look after the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe more we talk about and discuss something, the more aware people become. It means that if I need to point out a problem with accessibility, my colleagues can help sort things out. For example, I now have a special shelf in the office kitchen, just for me, which is on my level. It\u2019s about consulting disabled people and being open to their suggestions. If you can run accessibility audits and conduct some training, even better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-03-03_Capgemini-Disability-Matters_4.webp?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697348\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-communicating-clearly-about-the-ability\"><strong><strong>Communicating clearly about the ability<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Saumya-e1650275570430.webp?w=283\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697351\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Saumya Mishra is a Capgemini software&nbsp;engineer in Kolkata. He says that, as a deaf person, taking time to communicate clearly and openly about his abilities is especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hearing impaired, and have been since birth,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s often the lack of awareness of disability that impacts me most on a day-to-day level. Non-disabled people often pity disabled people and think they don\u2019t have a future. It\u2019s a misconception. We don\u2019t want sympathy, we want to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, communication can be a challenge in the workplace \u2013 trying to understand what others are saying, and explaining to others what\u2019s on my mind, can take time. If more people knew sign language that would be a great help. But sometimes improving communication is basic, such as writing something down to make it clear for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf a non-disabled person doesn\u2019t know much about my disability, I can explain it to them and maybe even teach them some sign language. It may feel like it will take some extra effort to communicate with someone who is deaf, but remember that we also want to share opinions and experiences, and shouldn\u2019t be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:52px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"681\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-03-03_Capgemini-Disability-Matters_2.webp?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697346\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we don\u2019t take time to communicate clearly, that\u2019s when misunderstandings can happen. But when non-disabled colleagues are friendly and open with disabled people, and they really understand each other, they can unite to face any challenge. It makes work easier and they grow as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Creating understanding and inclusivity<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Wim.webp?w=233\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697352\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wim Nieuwenhuize is a coach at Capgemini in the Randstad, the Netherlands. At the age of 27, he was diagnosed with choroideremia, a degenerative condition that causes a progressive loss of vision. He says that finding the right role at work lets people of all abilities flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I received my diagnosis, it was hard to accept,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you\u2019re struggling to come to terms with your situation, it\u2019s almost impossible to explain it to others. But after taking that first step, you can start to take control of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, whenever I work with new colleagues, I tell them directly about the condition and what I need. I\u2019m always thinking ahead to try to keep control of my situation. I have to communicate when I can\u2019t see things or need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor example, when we do a desk move, everything needs to be geared around which way I\u2019m sitting. This is because, although I need a lot of illumination in order to see, I can\u2019t face the window because the sun might be too bright. Direct light can be painful for me. These are the kinds of things that really matter to disabled people in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"524\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-03-03_Capgemini-Disability-Matters_3.webp?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697347\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt also helps when your job matches your abilities. I became an internal coach at Capgemini in 2015. I\u2019ve always loved working with people, and being a coach involves using my eyes less. Listening and talking takes less energy for me than reading and typing. Capgemini funds my training and creates the circumstances in which I can do, and can keep doing, this job. They always help me, and say \u2018yes\u2019, and are supportive of people of all abilities. In some ways, we are on this journey of acceptance together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are life lessons that everyone can learn. When you have a specific need, you discover so much about human nature, and about your own abilities and those of others. I\u2019ve found that helping others is the deepest wish of most people. When we accept our circumstances, communicate our needs, and put that positive energy out there, we can see it reflected back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section latestStoriesBlock \"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"contentTitle\"><h2 class=\"story-heading\">Inside stories<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-4 col-lg-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"storyBox \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"imageWrapper focused-image-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/news\/inside-stories\/hunting-for-dragons\/\" aria-label=\"Hunting for dragons\"  tabindex=\"-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dragons-without-shape.png?w=1024&#038;quality=70\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmedia=\"(min-width: 992px)\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dragons-without-shape.png?w=1024&#038;quality=70\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmedia=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dragons-without-shape.png?w=500&#038;quality=70\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmedia=\"(min-width: 0)\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dragons-without-shape.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-position: 58% 27%; object-fit: cover;\" class=\"focused-image\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"storyInfo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"storyTag\">Future-shaping projects<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"storyTitle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/news\/inside-stories\/hunting-for-dragons\/\" aria-label=\"Hunting for dragons\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"story-subtitle\">Hunting for dragons<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sarah Gon\u00e7alves wasn\u2019t always a data engineer.
