Core ConceptWhat Is an Inclusive Enterprise?More Than a Quota

An inclusive enterprise is a state-recognized company that employs significantly more people with severe disabilities than traditional businesses. It's not just about employment but true day-to-day collaboration with suitable working conditions, responsibilities, and prospects. This philosophy defines Hotel Franz.
