Employing People with Disabilities (Developing Practice) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Most people applaud the aims of the Disability Discrimination Act, yet employers are often anxious about what it means for them in practice. This practical guide sets out to calm their worries. The author argues that it is possible to recruit the best person for the job provided that decisions are based (as they always should be) on solid evidence of aptitude and ability. After setting out the legal framework, Evans offers guidance on: drawing up selection and promotion procedures which give disabled people a genuine opportunity to prove their worth; eliminating the discriminatory elements from all employment policies; making essential adjustments to access, parking facilities, reception areas, lifts, and toilets; ensuring that behaviour, vocabulary, and interview techniques remain within the law and avoid giving offence; and sources of financial assistance and further advice. Barriers to employing people with disabilities impose a terrible cost on society, but they also deprive employers of vast pools of talent. The best ways of reaching them are all explained here.
