The conversation introduces Rosa’s background and Boots’ context, then focuses on why employing disabled people matters for inclusion, diversity, equal opportunity, innovation, and customer understanding. Boots’ disability inclusion efforts are outlined, including Disabled Confident employer status and participation in initiatives such as Purple Tuesday and disability-access partnerships.","Disability Inclusion Insights with Boots UK – Podcast transcript\nLizi\u000bSo welcome everybody to another episode of Disability Inclusion Insights. My name is Lizi Green. I am the Digital Inclusion Consultant at AbilityNet. I am joined once again by my colleague Adam Tweed, and we are absolutely delighted today to be joined by Rosa Salamone. Rosa is the process manager for SAP Procurement at Boots UK. So welcome, Rosa. Thank you so much for joining us today.\nAnd so we always kick off our podcast, Rosa, by asking our guest what hot or cold beverage you have chosen for the podcast today, which is normally followed by myself and Adam telling you that we're drinking exactly the same thing that we drink every podcast. So what have you, what have you chosen today?\nRosa\nWell, I have chosen a Chai tea and I started to become really fond of it. Since my trip to India and a very good friend of mine, who is Indian, she's been trying to, you know, involve me in drinking Chai tea and I would say no, no, no. And then we went to this trip together and then now I cannot have a morning without my Chai tea.\nLizi\nAmazing. Sounds great. I've always been meaning to try Chai tea, but I'm, you know, English through and through and I can't seem to get off my just, you know, standard English black tea, preferably from Yorkshire.\nRosa\u000bWell, that sounds good.\nLizi\nYes. And Adam?\nAdam\u000byeah, I'm on the coffee. I'm grinding my own beans and its Japanese coffee. I'm expanding my kind of palette. So yeah. But the best I've found so far is Japanese Yushima, it's called.\nLizi\nVery nice that that would be what I ask you on the podcast from now on with the coffee from because there is always gonna be coffee. OK. So Rosa, could you start by telling us a little bit about yourself, your job role, a bit about what you do at Boots UK and what Boots they're doing?\nRosa\u000bYeah, sure. So first of all, hi to everybody. I'm very honoured to be in the podcast because I didn't get the chance to say that earlier. I was too excited about my charity and so, as Lizi already introduced me, I'm Rosa Salamone, I am a white woman of an average built. I have brown short curly hair and I wear glasses and today I'm wearing a purple top. I am originally from Italy, as you may have guessed from Accent, but have spent pretty much 50% of my life living here in the UK. Also, you may not think so from Accent again and I have a bachelor degree in business and Spanish and from my life have volunteered for charities in school to support children with additional needs. Specifically one of my last role as Co-opted school governor, I was responsible and I was the main link with the SENCO or anything to do with the SENCO provision I was also supporting with. I am currently working at Boots UK as a process manager as already mentioned by Lizi and I also used to be the chair of the disability business resource group here within Boots which start after three months. I started stepping in and pretty much had started from the scratch with this, with this wonderful group which has been absolutely amazing here, Boots. And then for those who don't know Boots. Boots is the aftercare and retail company that offer wide range of services such as vaccination and also products including over the counter medication, prescriptions, medication and half in beauty products, skin care, cosmemetics, toiletry and more literally we sell everything.\nAnd we have an extensive retail presence across the UK as well online and online, online store and also internationally.\nLizi\u000bFantastic. Thank you. So I'd like to ask you why you think it's important to employ disabled people and ask you if there's anything that Boots is involved with around disability inclusion that you can tell us about?\nRosa\u000bOh. So why is it important? That is quite a big question actually. Where to start from? Well be because you're not employing disabled people, promote inclusion, diversity, provide equal opportunities and non discrimination.\nBecause disabled ","cbCaifiwmgCkdBeq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifiwmgCkdBeq","docx",35422,12,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Guest and guest background\n# Disability inclusion focus\n## Why employ disabled people\n## Boots UK initiatives","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main speakers in this podcast transcript?\",\"answer\":\"Lizi Green and Adam Tweed from AbilityNet host the discussion, and Rosa Salamone from Boots UK joins as the guest.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Rosa Salamone do at Boots UK?\",\"answer\":\"She works as a process manager and is associated with SAP Procurement at Boots UK, and she previously chaired the disability business resource group.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the podcast discuss employing disabled people?\",\"answer\":\"The transcript links employment of disabled people to inclusion, diversity, equal opportunity, non-discrimination, innovation, resilience, and better alignment with customers and the wider community.\"}]","Disability Inclusion Insights with Boots UK - Podcast transcript | DOCX",1788311329,4,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":14,"keywords":34,"description":15,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"disability-inclusion-insights-with-boots-uk-podcast-transcript","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":49,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":52,"name":14,"@type":43,"position":29},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/disability-inclusion-insights-with-boots-uk-podcast-transcript/174230/",{"url":52,"name":14,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":14,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":15,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-09-03","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":47},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Who are the main speakers in this podcast transcript?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"Lizi Green and Adam Tweed from AbilityNet host the discussion, and Rosa Salamone from Boots UK joins as the guest.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What does Rosa Salamone do at Boots UK?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"She works as a process manager and is associated with SAP Procurement at Boots UK, and she previously chaired the disability business resource group.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"Why does the podcast discuss employing disabled people?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"The transcript links employment of disabled people to inclusion, diversity, equal opportunity, non-discrimination, innovation, resilience, and better alignment with customers and the wider community.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":87,"og:title":14,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":15},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,132],{"id":94,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},11,"Presentations",90,"presentations",{"id":21,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Resumes",80,"resumes",{"id":103,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},14,"Invoices",70,"invoices",{"id":108,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},15,"Posters",60,"posters",{"id":113,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},16,"Social Media",50,"social-media",{"id":118,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},17,"Forms",40,"forms",{"id":123,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},18,"Letters",30,"letters",{"id":128,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":131},21,"Paper Templates",5,"papers-templates",{"id":12,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":13,"show_sort_weight":4,"slug":133},"general-158"]
