The Business Disability Forum rolled out its updated awards program for disability inclusion work, and they switched up the name to put more weight on actual results instead of just vibes. Diane Lightfoot runs the org, and she basically said companies need to show they're making real changes happen for disabled workers and customers rather than just talking about it. The program lets any size company enter for free across 14 different categories, and they added a new tech award specifically aimed at smaller businesses this year.
Winners from previous years say the recognition helped them land partnerships and get taken more seriously by clients. Imali Chislett from a company called Inkfire mentioned their win helped spread the word about disability-led innovation after they took home an award last year. Nominations wrap up next month, and the ceremony goes down in London during the spring.
