While many companies are committed to creating a disability-inclusive workplace, they are challenged with where to start and how to do it. This presentation will cover the key elements and strategies to develop and sustain a disability-inclusive workplace i.e., leadership, outreach/recruitment, communication, culture, and more. Participants will complete a high-level assessment to get an idea of where you and your organization are in your disability inclusion journey.
