Tina Wiryawati, a member of Commission III of the West Java\nProvincial Legislative Assembly (DPRD), has called on regional\nstate-owned enterprises (BUMDs) across West Java to create work\nenvironments that are more welcoming to employees with disabilities. She\ncontends that equal employment opportunities for people with\ndisabilities are an essential component of achieving inclusive\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
Wiryawati noted that several private companies in Bandung, such as\nMatahari, have already demonstrated positive steps by opening up work\nspaces that are more disability-friendly. She believes this approach\nshould serve as an example for regionally-owned enterprises across West\nJava.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral private companies in Bandung have already provided space for\nworkers with disabilities to work. This is certainly good practice that\ncan be emulated by BUMDs in West Java,\u201d Wiryawati said on Monday, 9\nMarch 2026.<\/p>\n
She explained that support for workers with disabilities extends\nbeyond simply creating job opportunities; it also requires ensuring\nadequate supporting facilities in the work environment. This includes\nwheelchair-accessible building entrances, easily accessible service\nfacilities, and working systems that provide equal opportunities for all\nemployees.<\/p>\n
As a partner of BUMDs, Commission III continues to encourage regional\nenterprises to look beyond profit and demonstrate social concern. One\nway to do this is by creating broader opportunities for workers with\ndisabilities to contribute.<\/p>\n
According to Wiryawati, BUMDs occupy a strategic position in setting\nan example for other business sectors in implementing the principle of\nequal employment opportunity. Through inclusive policies,\nregionally-owned enterprises can become pioneers in creating work\nenvironments that are open to all members of society.<\/p>\n
\u201cBUMDs must serve as an example of how companies can provide an\ninclusive and disability-friendly workplace. In this way, people with\ndisabilities also have equal opportunities to develop and contribute,\u201d\nshe said.<\/p>\n
Wiryawati hopes that in the future, more companies\u2014both private and\nstate-owned\u2014will provide opportunities to workers with disabilities.\nWith such support, people with disabilities can participate more widely\nin economic activity and development across West Java.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/tina-wiryawati-urges-west-java-regional-enterprises-to-provide-employment-opportunities-for-people-with-1773053567", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
