Penerapan Kesetaraan Kesempatan Kerja bagi Penyandang Disabilitas pada Krisna Oleh – Oleh Bali

Abstract

Equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities are an important component of inclusive human resource management. This fieldwork study aimed to identify the implementation of equal employment opportunities, the challenges encountered, and the efforts undertaken to create an inclusive work environment at Krisna Bali Souvenirs. The activity used a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation and an interview conducted during the fieldwork visit on July 27, 2026. The observation showed that Krisna Bali Souvenirs provides employment opportunities for persons with disabilities by considering their abilities, competencies, skills, and work attitudes. Job placement is adjusted to individual capabilities and supported by guidance from supervisors and co-workers to facilitate workplace adaptation. The company also seeks to build a respectful and non-discriminatory work culture and provides equal opportunities for career development based on performance. Several challenges remain, including limitations in certain physically demanding jobs, the need for accessible workplace facilities, differences in communication and adaptation abilities, and the need to improve employees’ understanding of workplace inclusion. Overall, the fieldwork indicates that equal employment opportunities can be strengthened through competency-based placement, training, effective communication, mentoring, and an inclusive organizational culture. These findings provide practical learning for management students regarding the application of human resource management principles in an actual business environment.
