Guide To Disability And Inclusion In The Workplace

Master the ethical and practical aspects of disability accommodation. Learn effective strategies, overcome common barriers, and build a thriving workplace for all. Real-world examples and best practices. Engage with practical scenarios and exercises. Go beyond compliance and build a culture of inclusion. Empower your workplace, unlock potential, and create a competitive edge.

The purpose of this guide is to help employers understand their legal obligations regarding the duty to accommodate, and to create their own workplace accommodation policies and procedures. Employers will then be in a better position to provide an inclusive workplace and to minimize the likelihood of complaints of discrimination. The guide sets out the elements of a model policy on workplace accommodation; explains how to set up a procedure for analyzing employer programs and activities in order to ascertain if a program or activity will give rise to discriminatory barriers; describes a procedure for responding to requests from a specific employee for individual accommodation. The appendices outline key court decisions and include suggested forms and a list of useful resources.

The prevalence of hidden disabilities and conditions cannot be underestimated: in the UK, one in five people have a disability, and eighty per cent of these disabilities are not obvious to others. Through conversations with volunteer interviewees, this book highlights the wide range of hidden disabilities and conditions that exist in the workplace, and suggests appropriate accommodations that organisations can make to help their employees play a full part in society. Ted Smith is the author of the award-nominated Human Resources A to Z: A Practical Field Guide for People Managers. He's a senior human resources and organisation development consultant who has been working on a significant project to make workplaces more inclusive for those with hidden disabilities and conditions. That research has led to this informative and practical guide. All profits from the sale of this book will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
