The New Zealand Disability Employers' Network (NZDEN) is proud to announce an organisational change aimed at furthering its mission of promoting inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities across New Zealand.

The NZDEN, a leading organisation dedicated to advocating for disability and neurodiversity inclusive employment practices, has undertaken a strategic realignment to better serve its members and drive positive change in the employment landscape.

As part of NZDEN's commitment to advancing its vision, the organisation is also excited to unveil a range of new services, resources, and initiatives, including innovative mentorship programs aimed at fostering professional growth and development for disabled and neurodiverse people in the workforce.

"We are thrilled about the organisational change at the NZDEN and the opportunities it presents for advancing inclusive employment practices in New Zealand," said Phil Turner, Chief Executive.

The NZDEN will continue to collaborate with employers, disability service providers, and government agencies to promote disability and neurodiverse inclusive employment policies, practices, and initiatives. The organisation will also focus on providing resources, tools, and support to its members to help them create inclusive workplaces and tap into the talent pool of people with disabilities.

"We believe that every person, regardless of their disability, deserves equal opportunities in the workplace. The organisational change at NZDEN will strengthen our efforts to create a more inclusive and diverse workforce in New Zealand," added Mr Turner.

The NZDEN remains committed to being a leading voice in disability employment advocacy and looks forward to driving positive change in the employment landscape for people with disabilities in New Zealand.
