In 2004 Kanchi, and Irish non-profit, developed an innovative solution to engage business leadership and change the reality of employment for persons with disabilities, the Ability Awards. The Ability Awards, with title sponsor O2, included the development of a unique assessment tool and intensive communications campaign which aimed to bring about systemic change in business thinking. Kanchi wanted to change business mindsets towards a value proposition for businesses. The Ability Awards is a vehicle to engage businesses in the disability business case.
The Ability Awards brings committed companies through an intensive seven stage learning process. Businesses of all types are welcome and judged by a preliminary and final judging panel on six categories: Leadership, Customer Service, Retention and Well Being, Recruitment and Selection, Environmental Accessibility and Learning, Development and Progression.
Please see blog for full description.

Through O2’s parent company, Telefoncia, Kanchi will bring the Ability Awards to Spain. Ability Spain will serve as a pilot for a franchise model, testing the methodology, structure and opportunities to be replicated outside Ireland
