Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Arti, CEO of an FMCG company, was under pressure from the Board of Governors (BoG) to increase diversity in the workforce. The board wanted the company to hire candidates with vision impairment*, as it believed that they contributed to organizations in many unique ways.
The CEO was apprehensive of hiring visually impaired candidates; she was not sure about the feasibility of accommodating them in the current setting. Moreover, Arti was unsure as to how the visually impaired could contribute meaningfully to the organization. (* A person, with a vision impairment in a range of 60-100 percent, is referred to as a visually impaired person. A person with 100 percent vision impairment cannot see at all.)
The following arguments were presented to Arti about the candidates with vision impairment:
1.Visually impaired can do some activities better than the normal people and hence complement other employees.
2.Visually impaired can motivate other employees to work harder.
3. Visually impaired can act as a role model for other disadvantaged people in the society
4. Visually impaired can work harder to prove themselves
5. Hiring visually impaired people may enhance organizational reputation which may consequently lead to better sales.
6. Visually impaired have to be paid 20 percent extra salary.
From the above arguments, which of the following options indicate that CEO’s apprehensions are misplaced?
1: This suggests that visually impaired individuals can bring unique skills and strengths to the workplace, complementing the abilities of other employees.
2: Indicates that their presence can have a positive motivational impact on the entire workforce.
3: Suggests a potential positive impact on societal perceptions and can serve as an inspiration for others facing challenges.
4: Highlights a strong work ethic and determination among visually impaired individuals, challenging stereotypes.
5: Implies that an inclusive approach can positively influence the company's reputation and, subsequently, its sales.
6: Brings up a potential cost related concern which would validate the CEO’s apprehensions.
Therefore the correct answer is Option A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 only
