Today’s workforce includes people of all ages, races, religions, beliefs and abilities. Management must find ways to accommodate a wide variety of styles and needs.

This course is designed to help you create the necessary changes for those with disabilities. Some of our most talented workers require extra aids in order to be effective.  Research finds that workers with disabilities are harder working and more reliable than many others thus, very much worth the effort.

We will discuss the laws and their changes and intent. Examples and tips will enable today’s manager to understand and make accommodations for those with mental and psychological disabilities as well as those with physical ones.

The goal:  A level playing field for all workers.

Learning Objectives
  • Identify the laws and their intent regarding the workplace
  • Explore simple ways accommodations can be made for a variety of needs
  • Recognize the problems people with emotional/psychological disabilities can cause and possible remedies
  • Discover the value of hiring those with disabilities.

This is an interesting course. It gives a broader definition of disabilities and not just the obvious physical disabilities. This course would be good for all levels of employees, not just management.
