Local Bangor employers are now signing up to Disability Confident, a UK Government scheme which tackles misconceptions about disabled people in the workplace.
The scheme provides employers with the tools to be more inclusive to attract, recruit and retain disabled staff, which benefits both their workforce and business.
Wood Fired Shack were one of the first employers in Bangor High Street to sign up and promote the scheme by encouraging employers to think differently about disability.
Owners Paul and Avia said: “All employers should get on board with promoting equality of opportunity in their existing and future workforce. Importantly by failing to consider disabled people as potential employees, they could be missing out on a real asset to their businesses. For our business it’s certainly the way forward.”
Businesses who register as a Disability Confident will be seen as leading the way by helping to positively change attitudes, behaviours and cultures.

Mae cyflogwyr lleol Bangor bellach yn ymuno â Hyderus o ran Anabledd, cynllun Llywodraeth y DU, sy’n mynd i’r afael â chamdybiaethau am bobl sy’n anabl yn y gweithle. Mae’n rhoi’r teclynnau i gyflogwyr fod yn fwy cynhwysol i ddenu, recriwtio a chadw staff sy’n anabl, sydd o fudd i’w gweithlu a’u busnes.
‘Wood Fired Shack’ oedd un o’r cyflogwyr cyntaf yn Stryd Fawr Bangor i gofrestru a hyrwyddo’r cynllun trwy annog cyflogwyr i feddwl yn wahanol am anabledd.
Dywedodd y perchnogion Paul ac Avia: “Dylai pob cyflogwr ymuno â hyrwyddo cyfle cyfartal yn eu gweithlu presennol a’r dyfodol. Mae’n bwysig cofio, trwy fethu ag ystyried pobl sy’n anabl fel darpar weithwyr, gallent fod yn colli ar ased go iawn i’w busnesau. I’n busnes ni, mae’n sicr hwn yw’r ffordd ymlaen.”
Bydd busnesau sy’n cofrestru fel Hyderus o ran Anabledd yn cael eu hystyried fel eu bod yn arwain y ffordd trwy helpu newid agweddau, ymddygiadau a diwylliannau yn gadarnhaol.
