The Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES) is a set of ten specific measures (metrics) which enables NHS organisations to compare the workplace and career experiences of Disabled and non-disabled staff. NHS trusts use the metrics data to develop and publish an action plan. It will enable us to demonstrate progress against the indicators of Disability equality.
Making a difference for Disabled staff
The WDES enables us to understand the experiences of our Disabled staff and support positive changes for all existing employees. NBT is committed to creating a more inclusive environment for Disabled people working and seeking employment in our Trust.
