FOREWORD thought begins. As we grow up, these categorisations entrench themselves and shape and determine how we view people.
How many times have you walked into a room – be it for a lecture, a function, a restaurant or even an interview – and your immediate thought is ‘I don’t belong here’. What makes you decide, in that spilt second, whether you feel included and want to stay in the room or whether you feel uncomfortable and want to leave. Is it perhaps because of your language, your gender, your skin colour or your religion – or perhaps none of these?

INCLUSIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE AS WELL AS THE ACADEMIC INSTITUTION “There is no greater disability in society, than the inability to see the person as more.” Disability in the workplace, as well as in society itself, is a topic surrounded by stigma, apprehension and countless questions. Progression believes that, through the sharing of information around disability, these stigmas and fears can be replaced with acceptance and inclusiveness where disability is seen as part of normal human experience. Many organisations are striving towards diversifying their workforce and including people with disabilities among their staff. As a starting point, one can use the correct terminology, for example, addressing someone as a person with a disability rather than a disabled person.
Awareness/Education: Creating awareness around disability is the first step in ensuring your work environment is an inclusive and accepting one, where people with disabilities feel comfortable in disclosing their disability and will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to be successful and productive. Changing one’s mind-set is of utmost importance and can be done by participating and actively celebrating health awareness days throughout the year. Reasonable Accommodation: The concept of reasonable accommodation, as defined in the Employment Equity Act, is designed to provide a fair, non judgemental, accessible mechanism to explore the possibilities which exist within a business, with the view on minimising the barriers and focus on the skills and value of individuals. How? Emphasis needs to be placed on the social model of disability, which observes the structures and systems of society as barriers for people with disabilities rather than
the condition itself. Only allowing, or budgeting, for the physical or structural changes when implementing reasonable accommodation can be counterproductive in the long term if it is not supported by inclusive and accessible attitudes and culture. Not all disabilities are physical, nor display visible or obvious symptoms, there are also different types of mental disabilities. Ongoing support is critical in the successful management of invisible disabilities. In addition, supportive policies within the organisation can assist in ensuring that best practice is followed at all times. Although there are a number of tools available to reasonably accommodate a person with a disability, the process does not always have to be an expensive one. If we want to encourage inclusive and accessible workplaces, reasonable accommodation needs to be considered or explored at some point in the employment cycle.
Accessibility: toilets, parking, elevators, workspaces etc. In the case where an organisation is not the owner of the building they occupy, conversations need to take place with landlords to implement the necessary measures to improve accessibility. Assistive Devices: Various assistive devices are available for the different types of disabilities. Most universities, including Wits, use assistive devices in order to best assist their students as well as keeping current with the latest technologies. An example would be using an electronic form of Braille for the visually impaired. Other examples of assistive devices include wheelchairs, crutches, callipers, prostheses, JAWS, magnifiers, Interpreters, medication etc. Disclosure - a person who has disclosed their disability has the right to confidentiality. It is important to make employees aware of the disclosure process, who to go to and what documents to complete.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE On Thursday, 25 January of this year, I finally received my student visa at the South African consulate in Mauritius, to enable me to join my classmates for the Masters in Management, Innovation studies program at the Wits Business School. Even though this was not my first visit to South Africa, I was incredibly excited, as I was finally going to be enrolled as a full-time student at the world-renowned University of the Witwatersrand for my postgraduate education! When I arrived at the Business School, I was appreciative to be greeted by warm smiles, an engaging faculty and brilliant professionals from diverse companies, with varying expertise. I applied to Wits in anticipation of a world-class university experience and a trail-blazing program in Innovation, with faculty representatives of different countries and a director, Dr. Diran Soumonni, from Benin at the helm. So far, my program has allowed me to engage with brilliant academic minds, such as Nigerian-born Prof. Kalu Ojah and South African Prof. Chris van der Hoven, who tirelessly bring a wealth of experience to their work. As a Ghanaian who was educated in the United States, and who recently taught students and staff from over 30 different countries at the African Leadership University (ALU) in Mauritius, I am conscious of inclusivity. I remain grateful for the intentionality with which we approached this at ALU, as an academic institution. On campus in Mauritius, the representation of different nationalities and the diversity of thought helped us to approach familiar topics in new ways. We also broke new ground with the aid of varied and nuanced understandings informing our discussions in and outside the classroom. We explored important subjects like decoloniality, feminism, patriarchy, culture, economics and entrepreneurship with a myriad of contributions from people of different identities. This added to the richness of the university experience. I feel a bit of that is lacking at Wits and there is room for improvement in relation to gender, black and international representation among faculty & staff across all campuses. I think the Wits community would benefit from enrolling more international students into its programs - as the global world is keenly shaped by an informed and inclusive community, and so should a world-class institution.
8 GRP2018
Given my experience as an international student, and in multicultural environments, I have sought an inclusive and mutually enriching experience at Wits. I have been very intentional in my engagement with Wits, and the broader Johannesburg community, by seeking spaces that would allow me to learn and also to make my own unique contribution. I have found these at the PiG (Postgraduate Club), where I have sparred with different people on issues of politics and economics in South Africa; at the inter-residence soccer league, where I play for the Wits Junction team, allowing me to build relationships that have welcomed me into a broader community, as well as through different cultural experiences of the city. I am also grateful to be plugged into the Wits Tshimologong entrepreneurial community, where my co-founder, Zinhle Mkhabela, and I have founded an edTech startup, Kanea, to create learning journeys and playbooks that upskill graduates and professionals of all nationalities and backgrounds in the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution. My Wits experience continues to highlight the importance of building inclusive communities for the benefit of enriching the academic journey and experience and I am truly proud and grateful to be a Witsie!
