Building a Disability-Inclusive Workplace [webinar]

0
0

New regulations from the federal government are aimed squarely at motivating employers to more actively recruit, hire, promote, and retain employees with disabilities.

While the regulations are particularly important for employers who are federal contractors, employers who are not federal contractors will almost certainly experience increased competition for this diverse and largely untapped talent pool.

In this webinar, Cornell University Professor Susanne M. Bruyère provides an overview of workplace policies and practices that facilitate the recruitment, hiring, retention, advancement and inclusion of people with disabilities, with an emphasis on creating a culture where people with disabilities are comfortable asking for  accommodations and disclosing their disabilities.

Finally, we will discuss how companies can self-assess their effectiveness in moving toward a truly disability-inclusive workplace.
