DAY 1 –
Handicap,
STOP to preconceived ideas!
STOP to preconceived ideas!
Because disability is not an obstacle to performance, let’s work together to make inclusion a reality at LDC!
Disability is a reality that affects many people. Within the company, it is essential that each and every one of us plays an active role in creating an inclusive and welcoming working environment for all.
Once again this year, as part of the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (SEEPH), from 18 to 24 November 2024, LDC invites you to take part in various disability awareness initiatives, with the aim of challenging preconceived ideas about disability and promoting equal opportunities.
This initiative reaffirms our commitment to inclusion and helps to make LDC a place where every talent, whatever their situation, has a place and can flourish.
We are counting on your participation to make this week a success. Together, let’s make inclusion a shared value!
See you this morning at the Kfèt for the launch of our inclusion week!
Reminder:
Law of 11 February 2005 Article 2 – Definition of disability
« For the purposes of this law, a disability is any limitation of activity or restriction on participation in society experienced by a person in his or her environment as a result of a substantial, lasting or permanent impairment of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive or psychological functions, a multiple disability or a disabling health problem ».
The law considers a disabled worker to be « any person whose possibilities of obtaining or keeping a job are effectively reduced as a result of an insufficiency or reduction in their physical abilities ».
Did you know? Declaring your disability has a number of advantages...
Anyone whose state of health requires them to have work-related restrictions can apply for RQTH (Reconnaissance de la Qualité de Travailleur Handicapé – Recognition of Disabled Worker Status). This personal and confidential procedure is a provisional status, which the employee may or may not make known.
The RQTH enables the company to provide the best possible support for the employee and to offer him or her the means to compensate for the disability throughout their career.
What are the advantages of having my disability recognised?
The RQTH enables you to benefit from measures that will make your career more secure and improve your working conditions. You will also benefit from :
Support and advice from
disability experts
Services and financial assistance
from Agefiph, designed in particular to cover the cost of compensating for disability in the workplace.
An increase in your personal training account (CPF).
The RQTH also allows certain adjustments to be made to keep you in work. Any adjustments required are studied on a case-by-case basis:
Physical adaptation of the workstation:
ergonomic mouse or chair, adapted screen, hearing aids, adapted vehicle, etc.
Organisational adjustments to working hours and assignments:
adjusted working hours, medical teleworking, authorised absence for medical appointments, etc.
Human support:
tutor, LSF interpreter, etc.
Specific training courses
to enable professional development
Reinforced monitoring by occupational medicine
Early retirement
(under certain conditions).

Question 1: No
85% of disabilities are acquired in adulthood: accidents, illness, wear and tear and aging are all causes of disability.
There are also work-related accidents and occupational illnesses.
It is said that1 in 2 people has been, is or will be disabled in their lifetime. Fortunately, many disabilities are temporary, contrary to popular belief (longer than 6 months).
Question 2: All of them.
In the same way, what matters in the professional context are the consequences of the illness or disability.
The lifeguard will have to retrain, and obtaining the RQTH will enable him to obtain additional assistance in his retraining.
Diabetes can have various consequences: fatigue, absence, need for isolated space, reduced vision, …. These consequences are not necessarily visible: an RQTH will enable the person to be better supported.
For a hearing-impaired person, material adaptations may be necessary (adapted telephone, magnetic loop, vibration alert system, etc.). We also need to support the manager and work colleagues to ensure smooth integration into the team.
