The Ministry of Labor's Equal Employment Program is a government program operated by BDO's Public Operations Division, through 'Synergy Employment Encouragement Ltd.' - a subsidiary of BDO, in partnership with the 'Israel Employment Center' and 'Slav Rehabilitation Services'.

The program operates nationwide and integrates all employment-related services for people with disabilities, serving both job seekers and employers.

The program is designed to equip both employees and employers with the necessary tools to overcome existing challenges, enabling equal and rewarding employment for people with disabilities.

To achieve this goal, Equal Employment provides job seekers with a wide range of services, free of charge and nationwide, including training support, courses and workshops, professional development, connections to relevant employers and job opportunities, post-placement support, and more.

As the authoritative body of knowledge in the field of employing people with disabilities, Equal Employment provides professional guidance and tools for recruiting and retaining employees over time, tailored to the organization's needs, and at no cost. Equal Employment also assists employers in exercising their rights, such as access to funding for necessary accommodations when hiring employees with disabilities.

The program’s employment centers are located across the country, operating within urban employment infrastructures and academic institutions. They provide services to the general population, the Arab and ultra-Orthodox communities, and students from all sectors of society.

Individuals from the aforementioned populations often encounter inaccessible or discriminatory environments, which create barriers to exercising their basic right to feel like an integral part of society. As a result, talented individuals do not find jobs that match their abilities, and the loss is shared by all of us – employees and their families, employers, and Israel's economy and society.

Thanks to the funding and support provided by the Ministry of Labor, the services offered through the program are state-funded and aim to promote higher-quality employment among the target populations.
This program delivers significant value to both employers and job seekers. Combined with our extensive experience in operating public service systems and our unique ability to bring business-level professionalism into the public sector, it makes a meaningful contribution to the resilience of the Israeli economy, both economically and socially.

It is a great privilege for us to play a meaningful role in this important endeavor.
