Problems of inclusion and well-being can be solved with the help of the future of work. Six evidence-based principles are proposed by the author to support the inclusion of people with disabilities and improve employment for everyone. Outcome, flexibility, organizational justice, transparency, and the use of valid tools are included.

Most organizations have approached inclusion in sequential order: gender this year or two, race next, sexual orientation, and perhaps someday disability and age. Maybe class, or something. Or something else. The power center is usually expanded to bring in the next most acceptable characteristic. If someone is older, black, and disabled, what will happen? Or an Indigenous man with special needs? Someone who is a refugee fleeing religious persecution, or someone who has some attributes that aren't currently included, should be considered. People are left behind.
