APSE 23rd Annual National Conference
Over the past
several
years,
an
array
of
significant
workforce
trends
has
confronted
people
with
disabilities
and
disability
service
professionals.
These
trends
impact
the
job--seeking
and
employment
process
for
people
with
disabilities
in
several
ways:
in
choosing
a
career
path,
applying
for
positions,
requesting
workplace
accommodations,
and
maintaining
employment.
Making
sense
of
these
new
workplace
developments
and
their
implications
is
not
only
challenging,
but
may
also
have
significant
influence
on
potential
employment
outcomes.
Among
the
trends
we
will
highlight
are:
•
The
impact
of
the
recession
on
jobseekers
with
disabilities
•
Regulatory
changes
and
employment
opportunities
in
the
federal
government
and
with
federal
contractors
•
The
effect
of
the
emerging
labor
pools
of
aging
workers
and
veterans
with
disabilities

EARN Webinar: Strategies for Increasing Self-Identification for Candidates and Employees with Disabilities
Creating an inclusive workplace culture is critical for attracting and retaining candidates and employees with disabilities. This may become increasingly important in view of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) proposed revised regulations of Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended and released on December 9, 2011 which set hiring goals for federal contractors. While many companies are working hard to diversify their employee base and include applicants with disabilities, those with non-visible impairments are often reluctant to self-identify for the fear of not getting hired. This free webinar will present strategies for creating environments where applicants and employees are comfortable with disclosing their disabilities thereby allowing organizations to represent more accurately both the composition of their workforce and their efforts toward diversity and inclusion. Specifically, participants will learn about:
1.Inclusive workforce practices that lead to disability disclosure and self-identification,
2.Ways to transform an existing corporate culture into one that welcomes and supports candidates and employees with disabilities, and
3.How these strategies increase employee engagement, productivity, and overall positive outcomes.
