Show by Jaswinder Singh

Inclusion isn't charity. It's recognising talent that's already there.In this episode of the Jaswinder Singh Euphoric Podcast, I sit down with Julian Tarbox, CEO of Enable Moris, a social enterprise helping persons with disability in Mauritius build real careers, and helping companies become truly inclusive.Julian left a banking career across Australia and India, volunteered with Enable India, and has spent the last six years working on disability employment in Mauritius. We talk about the biggest myth employers believe, why 10 hires will never mean 10 perfect hires, the car parked on the only ramp in Port Louis, and the "purple economy", the customer segment most Mauritian businesses are ignoring.It's not about the free lunch. It's about helping people earn it.What you'll learn:- Why disability hiring is a business case, not a cost- How learning sign language makes managers better communicators- What the purple economy is and why Mauritius needs it- How Enable Moris funds itself without charging persons with disability- Why Mauritius can lead on inclusion, not just catch upChapters:0:00 Cold open0:57 What is Enable Moris2:32 From banking to inclusion7:35 The time he nearly gave up12:30 The biggest employer myth16:35 Deaf people empowering deaf people19:29 A placement that didn't work25:24 The tech platform for employers30:00 What Mauritius gets right and wrong35:26 How Enable Moris funds itself39:53 The business case and the purple economy45:37 Can Mauritius lead on inclusion?48:07 Rapid fire53:31 The Chain Question55:22 Advice for a 20-year-oldConnect with Enable Moris:Free awareness workshops for companies, sign language classes and accessibility audits- Website: https://enablemoris.com- Email: [email protected] the Jaswinder Singh Euphoric Podcast:- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWouJf0nvIZcWBj5oN0ivw/- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jaswindersingheuphoric- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaswindersingheuphoric/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jaswindersingheuphoric- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6DY2BZN7eSJHheUGjQkogg?si=U4EnheoITE-RnxRw_0Hb_A- Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jaswinder-singh-euphoric/id6812294141- Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.in/podcasts/4923162d-3f0c-4e01-8124-7d553f270068/jaswinder-singh-euphoric- TrueFans: https://truefans.fm/jaswinder-singh-euphoric- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/jaswinder-singh-euphoric/#DisabilityInclusion #Mauritius #PurpleEconomy #InclusiveHiring #EnableMoris #BusinessPodcasthttps://enablemoris.com/
