The Corona Foundation, the ANDI Foundation, ACDI VOCA, and the United States Agency for International Development published the "Guide for Promoting Inclusive Employment in Companies." This guide was created to promote inclusive employment for vulnerable people in Colombia by improving companies' human resource management processes and fostering inter-institutional partnerships.

The document is structured in six chapters. The first is the introduction to the guide, explaining its contents. The second chapter answers several questions, beginning with the general question, "What is the inclusive employment guide?" but then delves into more specific questions such as: Who is it for? What are the guide's objectives? Why is it worthwhile to create inclusive employment? What is the role of the company? What is meant by a vulnerable population? The third chapter addresses what actions companies can take to promote inclusive employment. This chapter is also divided into stages where companies can take action: before hiring, during hiring, after hiring, and the recommended action plan. The next chapter shows how employers can maximize results, making it clear from the title that this can only be achieved through partnerships with other stakeholders. The fifth chapter explains how companies can improve their results by hiring specific populations. The final chapter provides entrepreneurs with the tools for generating inclusive employment.
