DEFINITION OF INCLUSIVE ENTERPRISE POLICY

Abstract

Introduction. The issue of inclusive policy has increasingly appeared in scientific publications by economists, which is related to the need to create conditions for the maximum inclusion of various population groups in labor and employment. Understanding the fundamental definitions and principles of a company's inclusive policy is a necessary foundation for determining the mechanisms of its formation and implementation. Purpose. To explore scientific approaches to understanding inclusive policy at different economic levels and in various fields, conduct a critical review, and propose an author's definition of this concept at the enterprise level. Methods. In the process of researching the inclusive policy of enterprises, the following methods were used: analysis – a critical review of scientific approaches to understanding inclusive policy at different economic levels and in various fields; generalization method – systematization of the fundamental principles of a company's inclusive policy, which became the basis for forming the author's definition of this category; comparative method – analysis of approaches to defining inclusive development in the context of corporate social responsibility and the social model of disability; systematic approach – considering the company's inclusive policy as a complex system encompassing economic and social aspects; logical generalization method – based on the obtained results, an author's understanding of the company's inclusive policy is presented, reflecting its specificity and significance in creating equal employment opportunities. Results. The article is devoted to studying the essence of the category of "inclusive company policy," which is relevant in the context of the country's inclusive development. The relevance of the study is due to the necessity of further developing corporate social responsibility within organizations and implementing the principles of the social model of disability. Approaches to defining inclusive development at different economic levels and in various fields have been analyzed. Conclusion. An author's definition of a company's inclusive policy is provided, which, unlike other types of corporate policies, is based not only on economic but also on social principles. Its primary goal is to create equal employment opportunities and enable individuals to realize their labor potential regardless of physical condition, gender, cultural, or religious beliefs. Understanding the fundamental definitions and principles of a company's inclusive policy is a necessary foundation for determining the mechanisms of its implementation in the context of building an inclusive society.
