Getting hired was one hurdle
THRIVE started as a framework for students and aspirants with disabilities, to help them prepare for college and their first job. THRIVE at Work takes the same six pillars into the workplace.
Because getting hired is only the first hurdle. Being seen for promotion, asking for support without feeling like a burden, and not burning out while proving yourself, those are the ones that decide whether people stay and grow, or leave.
The six pillars, and how they help at work
Truth of Self
Knowing your strengths and the conditions you work best in, so you can ask for the right support and show what you bring.
Honor Your Story
Deciding whether, when and how to share your disability at work, on your own terms and with confidence.
Rise with Skills and Rights
Building the skills for the next role, and knowing your rights, including reasonable accommodation under the RPwD Act, 2016.
Initiate Your Plan
Starting the career conversation yourself, instead of waiting to be noticed, with a clear plan and dates on it.
Value Your Well-being
Managing energy, setting boundaries and spotting burnout early, because working twice as hard to prove yourself has a cost.
Extend It Forward
Mentoring others and building the disability network, so it's a little easier for the next person who joins.
For HR, D&I and people leaders
Built around your organisation, not off the shelf
Every organisation is stuck somewhere different. So we shape THRIVE at Work around what you're seeing, and around what we hear when we speak, confidentially, with your employees with disabilities.
Listen
We start with your problem statement and your BELONG results, then speak with employees with disabilities to find the themes that keep coming up.
Shape
We pick the pillars that matter most for your people right now, and build the content around real situations from your workplace.
Deliver
Virtual sessions, in-person workshops, or self-paced learning your people can take in their own time. Or a mix that suits how your teams work.
