"Disability" Deserves a Re-Think
line

Do your hiring practices include tapping into one of the most overlooked talent pools available? Persons with disabilities are one of the fastest growing and under-utilized sources of labour today.

Awareness training can help serve the organization's interests while also ensuring an equitable environment for new hires. Disabilities can be anything from a natural response to ageing, to simply requiring a different teaching method.

Sensitivity Awareness workshops have become a successful best practice for leading organizations. However, it is often difficult and expensive to enroll all your hiring managers and employees. By starting with online training, you can cover the basics quickly, including,
  • Disability and Diversity - In many cases, disability training is included as part of a broader diversity education plan. Our training will provide a look into the bigger picture.
  • Terminology - An important part of getting off on the right foot is simply being more aware and sensitive to the terminology associated with disabilities.
  • Social Interactions - Every organization wants to have the peace of mind in knowing that their employees understand the right way of going about everyday situations.
  • Disabilities Defined - Havnig a disability does not require a wheelchair. An ageing population, learning disabilities and mental health, are common in today's workforce.
  • Common Myths - By addressing common myths about the productivity and costs associated with hiring persons with disabilities - we'll ensure everyone gets back to business.
