AbilityNet recognised for innovation in workplace assessments

AbilityNet has been named as a runner up in the RIDI Awards, a new national competition that recognises best practise in supporting disabled people in the workplace. The Innovation in Assessment Award recognises how alternatives and adjustments to assessments are often so simple and yet have such a positive impact for disabled candidates.

AbilityNet was commended as a good example of an expert partnership bringing the technological expertise to deliver results and remove barriers and offering highly competent professional advice and support.

AbilityNet CEO Nigel Lewis, who is shown with Ben Chalcraft and Sheekha Rajani of DiversityJobs.co.uk, said he was pleased to see AbilityNet perform so well in the new Awards:

"The RIDI Awards recognise the many different ways that employers and suppliers can help meet the needs of disabled people in the workplace. As well as being runners up in the Innovation in Assessment Award, AbilityNet sponsored the Technology for Inclusion Award, which was a great way for us to recognise the many ways that digital technology can help disabled people in the workplace.

"The Awards Ceremony was a great event and showed just how many employers are investing their time and expertise to ensure that they recruit and retain the best talent."
