Tuesday 10/29/2019 02:20 PM - 02:38 PM   Add to calendar

Every company strives to attract, engage, and retain top talent. Embracing diversity and building inclusive work environments is one way to do just that. Too often, conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion exclude the largest untapped source of talent—people with disabilities. Significant misunderstandings about the capabilities of employees with disabilities exist, which serves as a barrier to building truly inclusive workplaces. Join us for a session exploring the most common myths associated with employees with disabilities. By the end of this session, you will be empowered to break down stereotypes about employing people with disabilities, which will foster a more inclusive and productive culture in your workplace.
