Conversations about employing people with disabilities often begin with a list of legal reasons why it “cannot be done”.

An employee can deliver results for years, build a reputation and tell nobody about their disability certificate.
A company can formally open every vacancy to people with disabilities and hire almost none of them for ten years.

Signing the contract in this case took roughly three years.
In January 2024 I described an early stage of building a remote team of people with disabilities to deliver real BPO processes.
