SUMMARY:

The discussion surrounding the social inclusion of people with disabilities has been strengthened through social movements and political actions that have ensured the effectiveness of the basic social rights provided for in the Brazilian Federal Constitution. In this context, the entry and retention of people with disabilities in the labor market stand out as key issues. In order to contribute to the discussions on this topic, this study is characterized as a diagnostic research project whose general objective was to analyze the labor inclusion process of administrative technicians in education with disabilities who are part of the permanent staff at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), focusing on the ergonomic principles present in the institutional tools used during the hiring process — specifically, the interview guide and the occupational medical examination. The results revealed that, although there are institutional regulations and practices aimed at promoting inclusion, the analyzed documents present significant gaps, such as barriers that may hinder qualified listening, limitations in identifying functional and ergonomic needs, and a lack of attention to the specificities of the daily work routines of employees with disabilities. The analysis made it possible to propose adjustments based on the principles of Ergonomics and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), with the aim of broadening the understanding of the barriers faced and supporting the future construction of more effective policies. As a result of the research, a supplementary questionnaire was proposed to be applied during the hiring process, in order to improve the identification of the needs of employees with disabilities and to anticipate ergonomic, structural, functional, and relational demands. It is expected that this research will contribute to the advancement of the literature on the labor inclusion of people with disabilities, as well as to the improvement of institutional processes, not only at UFRN but also in other public institutions. Furthermore, it is hoped that the proposed tool will have the potential to strengthen practices that are better aligned with the specific needs of this group, promoting adequate working conditions, accessibility, and inclusion.
