By proactively being more inclusive, employers foster an environment that encourages disability self-identification and ensures the creation and sustainability of diverse workplaces. Equally important, employers benefit from a wider pool of talent, skills, and creative business solutions and from achieving compliance with federal regulations. This webinar offers strategies for creating a workplace culture that is welcoming and affirming to applicants and employees with disabilities.

Silvia Calderon, ODEP Policy Advisor on the Employer and Workplace Policy Team, will provide several strategies for ensuring employees with disabilities feel welcomed and supported. These will include:

Adding the “A” in accessibility to an organization’s DEI value statement
Ensuring physical, digital, process, procurement, and communications accessibility
Cultivating a psychologically safe culture
Implementing disability employee resource groups
