Workplace Application:
This session will empower organizations looking to effectively hire, retain and promote people with all disabilities into their workplaces
Workers with disabilities have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The disability community is an important resource in addressing this demand for talent, yet it often goes underutilized. This session will present how organizations can attain leadership buy-in through a clear business case for disability inclusion in the workplace. We hope to feature a newly made campaign from Saatchi & Saatchi as well as highlighting the voice of employees with disabilities during the session.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide an overview of effective ways to engage with leadership and secure their buy-in for disability employment initiatives.
- Highlight the business case for including people with disabilities in the workplace.
- Recognize how the COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to advance opportunities for disability employment.
Presenter:
