Course Description

Welcome!

Thank you for choosing to take Course 23 in the Inclusion Works: Transformative Recruitment Practices certificate. These courses are for professionals looking to enhance workplace inclusivity and productivity through their recruitment practices. Understanding the nuances of disability management enables professionals to effectively support employees with disabilities, leading to a more diverse and engaged workforce. Additionally, hiring people with disabilities fosters a more inclusive workplace culture and brings unique perspectives and talents, enriching teams and driving innovation and success.

Description

As the pandemic continues, many organizations are wondering how the workplace, and employment opportunities will change for people with disabilities post COVID-19. During this webinar, our speakers will explore what the ‘new normal’ in the workplace might look like for people with disabilities and why the pandemic has changed the expectations of flexible working. The panel will also discuss some positive opportunities that may arise for people with disabilities, as a result of the change in work during the pandemic.

Learning outcomes:

  • What flexible working could look like post COVID-19
  • How can employers continue to support flexible working for people with disabilities post COVID-19
  • What opportunities may arise for people with disabilities as a result of the change in work during the pandemic
