abstract: 'An estimated more than one billion people, or 15\% of the world''s

  population live with some form of disability (WHO). The condition of

  their life depends very much on the level of integration into the labour

  market. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) 72.3\%

  of disabled people are at the working age of between 15-64. (1) Disabled

  people are more likely to experience adverse economic outcomes than

  persons without disabilities such as lower wage rates, weak employment

  opportunities, unavailability of supporting tools and technologies,

  accessibility, and non-adopted means of communication. Workplace

  Inclusion aims to remove barriers to ensure all employees with or

  without disabilities to enjoy full participation in a workplace which

  supports the future success of business and economy. The Project WI4.0

  focuses on the improvement of workplace inclusion of people with

  disabilities.

  Workplace Inclusion means to build up a workplace culture that builds

  respect, fosters inclusiveness, promotes diversity and embraces the

  unique skills and qualities of all employees of a company. Workplace

  Inclusion encompasses many positive aspects of life. It is about

  acknowledging the diverse skills and perspectives that people may bring

  to the workplace because of their cultural background or their

  disability. The aim is to remove barriers to ensure all employees enjoy

  full participation in a workplace which supports the development and

  achievement of well informed and culturally appropriate business

  outcomes. It also involves recognizing the value of individual

  differences and managing them in the workplace.'
