Sanita encourages public and private companies to facilitate the inclusion of disabled persons in the workforce through conductive work environments.

Sanita presented how its plants accommodate disabled employees through equipped facilities and comfortable working conditions during 3-day workshop organized by United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN ESCWA) and the International Labor Organization (ILO).

The ‘Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in the Labour Market’ workshop took place from 3 – 5 December 2017, bringing together public and private companies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as critical policy makers and government officials.
