Abstract

In Colombia, the social responsibility of the employer (SRE) has had a slow development; most of the employers lack the collective consciousness that would allow them to understand their role in society, as well as the fundamental labor they perform by generating job positions, especially for those people with disabilities or diverse functionalities. The Constitutional Court has pointed out that the role of enterprises and freedom for competence must be contrasted with the social function in the framework of a Social State based on the Rule of Law. This article’s main goal is reviewing the role of the employers in a world that debates around globalization, strengthening of regional blocks and new nationalism; which generates diverse manners of work, workers and contract modalities, while also widens the traditional concepts in the work framework, where the true role of the entrepreneur changes towards the inclusion of people with disabilities.
