How IPS can help businesses access untapped talent pools and build inclusive workforces.
Businesses are always searching for new ways to build diverse, talented teams. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) offers a proven solution – connecting employers with highly motivated individuals who are ready to thrive.
This evidence-based approach helps people facing mental health challenges to find and stay in work. With tailored support, a focus on rapid employment, and ongoing workplace assistance, IPS unlocks access to a skilled, resilient talent pool that is often overlooked.
The IPS model breaks down traditional barriers to employment by focusing on individual strengths rather than perceived limitations. Employment specialists work closely with individuals to understand their goals, match them with the right opportunities, and support them to succeed – benefiting both the individual and the employer.
For businesses, this means more than simply filling vacancies. It offers a chance to discover untapped potential, bring new energy into teams, and meet diversity and inclusion targets in a meaningful, sustainable way. Inclusive hiring practices inspired by IPS have been shown to improve employee retention, enhance workplace culture, and build a reputation for forward-thinking leadership.
Embracing IPS is more than recruitment – it’s a movement towards a stronger, more inclusive workforce where everyone’s potential is valued, and businesses can truly thrive.
