Alkosto y las personas en condición de discapacidad cognitiva leve como propuesta para la implementación de un negocio inclusivo.

Abstract

This work seeks to analyze the employment incorporation that Alkosto carries out with people with cognitive disabilities, in order to propose actions that allow the development of an inclusive business that favors both the growth of people with disabilities, as well as profitability, reputation and sustainability of the company, where information is collected from statistical data to demonstrate the problems to which people in this condition are exposed and to exemplify how solutions to highly complex social problems can be provided from the private sector.

Finally, and through the Alkosto case study, the company's decision to hire people with cognitive disabilities and how this process has been developed in practice is explored, addressing aspects such as: the selection process for hiring, the investment requirements for the labor inclusion of people with disabilities, and the benefits for the company (from a business perspective) of incurring in the development of an initiative with these characteristics. Finally, and based on the documentation collected and the evidence found from the case study, some conclusions and recommendations are presented. We intend, through this research work, to contribute so that the labor inclusion of people with disabilities is not an initiative of a company, but rather serves as an example to replicate and scale a business model in which the private sector contributes to social development.
