Many capable people are left out of the workforce not due to lack of ability, but lack of access. Employers can change that by rethinking rigid job requirements, making roles more flexible and creating inclusive environments where everyone works side by side. With small shifts and support from community partners, businesses can tap into overlooked talent and build stronger, more equitable teams.
