Cost:  Free
Format:  Webinar
Where: Online/Web-based
Sponsored By:  National Employer Policy, Research, and Technical Assistance Center for Employers on the Employment of People with Disabilities (Employer TA Center)

Description:  Today, disability inclusion is something companies can and must consciously choose. That is because we have reached, to borrow from author Malcolm Gladwell, the “tipping point.” What started as a policy-driven issue—stemming from legislation, most notably the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 but also the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended—has now become a market-driven issue, or really a market-driven imperative. Smart companies know that people with disabilities represent a growing market, and, as with any customer segment, one of the best ways to tap into it is to ensure it is represented in your workforce.

In this webinar, participants will learn how companies recognized as top employers for people with disabilities actively work to align disability inclusion with their corporate goals and use it to strengthen their brand, both internally and externally. They will also learn strategies federal contractors covered by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act are using to actively foster an environment in which people feel safe to self-identify as people with disabilities and succeed and thrive on the job.

Registration: Deadline to Register - July 8, 2015
Advance registration required. This webinar is approved for one HR General recertification credit hour through the HR Certification Institute.
