BREAKING STIGMAS TO CREATE BETTER WORKPLACE | SAPIENT EMPLOYEE REVIEWS

When was the last time you felt strongly about a person with disability to be given a fair chance like you to compete in a professional environment? Has it ever crossed your mind that differently abled people have families to feed too? How do they manage or cope up with the difficulties they face on a daily basis? Or that they too have aspirations to do well in life.

Most of us might never think about all of this as we are too busy in our lives earning a decent livelihood and figuring out the future for ourselves and our families. Yes we think about charity and helping them once a while but we never think about a life with dignity for such people. It is at such times when I feel immensely proud about my organization which consistently works towards enabling differently abled people and help them earn a dignified life. This is a proud Sapient employee review.

Every year, Sapient takes up various scenarios and talks about inclusion and diversity at workplaces. Not only it organizes seminars but also implement the outcomes in its entirety. This year, which is already proving to be hard for all of us, just think how hard it must be for those who need a bit more support.

People with Disabilities (PwDs) represent a significant and largely underutilized resource of our population. Many of them are underemployed or unemployed mainly because of the mindsets and behaviors that persist in society, towards how we view them and Sapient this year organized Accessibility Training on Disability Awareness which aims to clear such misconceptions, break stigmas and equip everyone with the right know-how to create a diverse workplace.

It is with initiatives like these which fills me up with pride that I work for an organization that goes beyond a normal professional environment and try to do something for the society. I always have felt very strongly about such initiatives and have believed that it is very important to take that first step in order to bring change.

Sapient is one of those very few organizations that takes up these initiatives very seriously and the leadership deserves a grand salute to allow such initiatives to happen. We are indeed very privileged and we haven’t really faced real trouble in life therefore, to be humble and helpful towards those who have is the least we can do. Thank you Sapient for changing mindsets and breaking stereotypes.
