Disability

Part of the bigger movement

We recognise that barriers still exist for people with disabilities. Our goal is to remove those barriers and create a workplace where everyone can thrive and be their best.

That’s why we design our buildings, systems, and ways of working with accessibility in mind, so everyone can fully participate in life at Vodafone. As part of the Valuable 500 movement, we’re focused on key priorities to make our workplace more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all.

Application adjustments

At Vodafone, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible recruitment process for everyone. We offer a range of adjustments for candidates to ensure they can fully demonstrate their skills and potential. You'll have the opporutunity to disclose your adjustments needed throughout the interveiw process or you can reach out directly so we can provide tailored support and ensure a fair, equitable, and positive recruitment experience for all.

Mental health

Our mental health provision includes proactive and reactive services. This includes a mental health toolkit that promotes understanding and signposts employees to the support available within Vodafone. We continue to evolve our employee assistance programmes, grow the numbers of our mental health first aiders, and develop the psychological support we offer to meet the needs of our colleagues around the world.

Employee-led disability network

 At Vodafone, connection drives inclusion. 

Our employee-led disability network plays a vital role in shaping policies, raising awareness, and supporting colleagues.

It's a space for mentoring, development, and meaningful conversations—empowering people and shaping a more inclusive future.

Disability awareness & visibility

In collaboration with our Vodability network, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities every December. It’s an opportunity for us to empower employees to explore ways we can create a workplace that is accessible to everyone and highlight the work being done across the organisation; initiatives like accessibility solutions, sign language implementation and mental health schemes. But throughout the year, we also ensure all our events are fully accessible and that we showcase people with disabilities.

Supporting the community

Our focus on empowering our colleagues with disabilities extends to our customers and communities. In different countries across the globe, we’ve launched a wealth of accessibility initiatives, including an SMS Emergency Services for people with communication barriers in South Africa and a digital platform to help people with disabilities access sport in Italy
