Presentation
The University of Barcelona and the Adecco Foundation signed a collaboration agreement in 2012 to promote a Research Chair in which the strategies of corporate social responsibility and human resource management in terms of labour integration of people with disabilities are addressed.
The fundamental objective of the ''UB Chair - Adecco Foundation for the labour integration of people with disabilities'' is to analyse and evaluate the labour integration process of people with disabilities and the role that companies play on this process through their policies, corporate responsibility and human resources management.
This analysis aims to detect those barriers, specific problems and dysfunctionalities of the process which make it difficult for people with disabilities to integrate into the labour market. Based on this detection, strategies and solutions will be provided to eliminate or reduce these barriers and incorporate people with disabilities into the labour market under equal conditions.
