Disability-inclusive policies, training, and accountability for people in critical roles ensure that everyone’s talents are welcome in the workplace. Managers, recruiters, leaders, and other employees all need specific training regarding people with disabilities. This training should include

  • Information on how to include and not exclude candidates
  • Guidance on how to make sure systems and facilities are accessible
  • Ways to make sure people with disabilities feel free to be themselves or bring their whole selves to work

The Job Accommodation Network is the leading source of free, expert, and confidential guidance on job accommodations and disability employment issues. JAN’s Workplace Accommodation Toolkit is a free, comprehensive online resource for employers seeking to move beyond basic compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act in order to create more disability-inclusive workplaces. Information about physical accessibility of the workplace can also be found at JAN.
