At HBX Group, we believe that diversity makes us stronger. We’re committed to building an inclusive work environment where all people — regardless of their abilities, background, gender, age or orientation — can thrive and contribute their unique talents.
Inclusion is not something that happens by chance. It requires action and concrete tools to break down barriers and ensure that everyone feels respected, valued and heard. That’s why we have created internal guides — straightforward resources to help us take practical steps toward a more inclusive workplace.
What we have done?
While we work across various dimensions of diversity, disability inclusion is an area where we’re taking further action. This guide is part of a broader commitment to move forward with clarity and integrity — creating tools that empower employees and improve our shared work environment.
The guide outlines key information about disability recognition, including:
- What is considered a disability under applicable legislation.
- How to obtain a disability certificate, including eligibility criteria and the steps involved in the application process.
- What benefits and rights are associated with recognised disability status — from tax exemptions to housing support, educational resources, mobility aids, and employment protections.
… and more, to help employees get informed, understand their rights, and support others more effectively.
What’s in the guide?
Declaring a disability: a step toward inclusion
A key element of this process is encouraging employees to voluntarily and confidentially share whether they have a recognised disability. Why? Because having this information allows us to better understand individual needs and take meaningful action.
But beyond individual support, knowing how many people with disabilities are part of HBX Group also serves an important purpose at the company level:
- It helps us design more effective support policies, based on real situations.
- It helps us design more effective support policies, based on real situations.
- It allows us to comply with relevant regulations in each country where we operate.
- It promotes fairness and accessibility, ensuring that everyone has the right resources and adjustments to thrive.
- It provides insight to measure progress, guiding our steps toward a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
This first guide focuses on the rights and resources available in Spain. In the coming months, we’ll continue to expand this effort by launching similar guides for other countries where we operate.
