Inclusion and Equity for Workers with Disabilities

Summary

Learn how to identify and build an inclusive and equitable environment for workers with disabilities.

While inclusion and equity are increasingly important to organizations as they build and maintain their modern workforces, workers with disabilities are still often overlooked. While these oversights may often be unintentional, they can still have a detrimental impact on disabled employees’ ability to do their jobs and on their overall wellbeing. In this course, disability inclusion advocate and Paralympic gold medalist Liz Johnson details the actions your organization can take to ensure equity and inclusion for disabled employees. She starts with basics: what inclusion looks like for disabled employees, and what exclusion looks like. She then covers the requirements needed in an equitable environment and shares some resources you can use to support inclusive practices. Finally, Liz covers tools to help you measure the success—and failure—of your initiatives.
