We are excited to announce that Seema Flower, the founder of Blind Ambition, will be a featured speaker at the Recruitment Agency Expo in Birmingham. Seema will be discussing Diversity and Inclusion, as well as Disability Awareness, showcasing her expertise and commitment to promoting accessibility and inclusivity.

Event Details:

  • Date: Thursday, 10th October 2024
  • Time: 11:30 am – 12 noon
  • Venue: Theatre 2, Elevate Stage
  • Location: Hall 7, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, B40 1NT

Recruitment agencies attending this event hope to gain insights into the latest industry trends, discover innovative recruitment technologies, and learn strategies to enhance business performance.

Seema will explore simple yet impactful changes that recruitment agencies and their clients can implement to support disabled individuals in gaining and retaining employment. For example, offering to interview disabled candidates in a location they find comfortable can make a significant difference. Such practices align with our mission to champion employment for disabled individuals.

With 75% of blind people unemployed, a shift in perspective for agencies and their clients could make a huge difference. Seema will highlight how employing disabled people can enhance productivity and profitability for businesses, illustrating the broad benefits of inclusive hiring practices. This event is a crucial step in making the recruitment process more accessible and equitable, benefiting both businesses and candidates.

Join us in supporting Seema’s efforts to create a more inclusive and diverse workplace for everyone.
