During 2024, the Steering Committee of the Disability Champions Network will take on board all the proposed actions in this recommendation, consulting with its membership and with the Employee Resource Group on Disability Inclusion on how best to implement them. This will include expanded outreach and communication on the DCN’s activities with ILO colleagues in Headquarters and the field, and recognition, training and specialized support for its members. The DCN will continue its annual theme-based approach, with a focus on accessibility in 2024. The Office will consider the feasibility of including a section in the performance appraisal for “Additional Engagement” where staff will be able to highlight their engagement in groups/boards and networks, such as the Disability Champions Network. The Office will also explore options to fund activities of the Network, particularly in terms of outreach and accessibility.

title:

1. Continue to grow the DCN. Actions related to the DCN that can be taken include: • Identify a way to recognise the work of the disability champions. The DCN is voluntary as it was judged the best way to ensure individuals who are committed to disability inclusion were involved. It would though provide extra encouragement by recognising the contribution individuals make through including in performance appraisals, show-casing the individual’s work on the intranet or providing additional training options, potentially in collaboration with ILOITC. • Ensure regular publicity of the DCN to ensure other staff working on Disability Inclusion are aware of its existence. Ensure Regional and Country Directors and CRAS are briefed on the DCN with the goal of them encouraging their team members to join. • Ensure the DCN meetings are held at different times on a rotating basis to include more staff in different time zones. Rotating roughly on a schedule of lunchtime in Geneva, lunchtime in Bangkok, and lunchtime in Lima, would allow staff in different time-zones to participate more regularly. • Hold more thematically focused meetings addressing specific issues in a particular area of the Strategy.
