Sasin School of Management is the first higher educational institution in Thailand to launch a comprehensive inclusion policy: IDEALS. We are marking this significant milestone by launching Southeast Asia’s first research center dedicated to connecting workers with disabilities to meaningful employment, the Neurodiversity at Work Research Centre (NWRC). The NWRC is a collaborative project between Sasin and Steps – an organization which provides education for the neurodivergent, models inclusive businesses, and empowers employers with the tools to hire inclusively. Neurodivergent people face barriers to work across the region. This is not only socially unjust, but also detrimental to businesses who could benefit from the untapped potential of an overlooked workforce. Businesses may also make contributions to the State Rehabilitation Fund of Disabled Persons in lieu of hiring people with disabilities. คลิกที่นี่สำหรับภาษาไทย  

How will the NWRC create change?

The NWRC will conduct evidence-based research of real, actionable value to businesses who wish to hire inclusively. Research outputs will support the development of corporate inclusion tools, along with training and consultancy services for corporates looking to begin or improve their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) journeys. Overall, the NWRC aims to significantly increase access to employment for an often overlooked and underutilized portion of society, and will open new opportunities for business and economic growth.
