Happy International Disability day!   Curious to know what disability awareness means to each and everyone, happy to hear them in the comments 😊   To me, “Disability Awareness” isn’t just about sharing of knowledge, but it also means taking the initiative to reach out and learn. As a consultant, I’ve acquired a lot of information, advice and tips simply from the day-to-day interaction with my candidates. I’ve not been afraid to make mistakes to then learn the right terminologies and ways to approach disability topic. Similar to how I encourage my candidates, be proactive in finding the resources for your career search. Never be afraid to share your needs as it takes both hands clap for a perfect placement.   For more information on how Michael Page can make a difference to your organisation or career simply reach out to Yap Jayden at [email protected]   #InternationalDisabilityAwarenessDay #Disability #dei

Ontario's Employment Services for People with Disabilities: Is Red Tape Holding Them Back? New report reveals challenges under the revamped system. People with disabilities face unique barriers in the job market. A recent transformation of Ontario's employment services aimed for efficiency, but it's created unintended consequences. The report, "Tangled in Red Tape," finds: Increased administrative burden reduces support for job seekers. Funding struggles and high caseloads create a difficult environment. Staff turnover threatens expertise within the sector. The report calls for urgent action, including: Reducing red tape to free up time for direct support. Re-evaluating funding and performance measures. Addressing staff burnout and expertise loss. We urge the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) to address these concerns and ensure effective support for job seekers with disabilities.

Avoiding some common pitfalls when hiring individuals with disabilities can help drive sustainable growth and create new opportunities. Based on her experiences and conversations with other individuals living with disabilities, Kylie Moore has found that several universal strategies can help every employer recruit, hire, and support workers with disabilities. 1. Build an Inclusive Work Environment Create an inclusive environment for all by recruiting from the disability community and using targeted job boards. Develop inclusive policies for hiring, promotion, and benefits. Celebrate diversity and measure inclusivity through feedback. 2. Create Accessible Job Postings Ensure job applications are accessible by using clear, concise language and multiple formats. Highlight that your organization is an equal opportunity employer and provide contact info for accommodations. 3. Ensure an Accessible Interview Process Ensure interview accessibility: accessible rooms, clear format, extra time, direct communication, and flexible structure. 4. Train Supervisors on Accommodation Practices To create an inclusive work environment, companies must train their supervisors to work with employees with disabilities and teach them about the accommodation process. Supervisors should familiarize themselves with the different disability laws and know the difference between job accommodations and modifications. Kylie covers them in more detail in her most recent blog post.

For those who have been following my career for the past 10 years: 1. Hiding my illness and disability has been hard. Being sick is hard enough, pretending your "okay" to your employer causes a whole other level of stress. 2. Trying to fit in a box that the average employee can fit in - when I have an "invisible" disability has not been easy 3. Employers are not equipped to support "invisible" disabilities 4. Most people with "invisible" disabilities are not sure what they need either! I have recently joined the CGS Equity Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and I'm forcing myself to have difficult discussions and share my experiences with others. Please reach out if you or someone you know is having issues navigating the work force with an illness or disability.

According to the agency National Trends in Disability Employment, they believe the surge in disability employment via work from home jobs (originally sparked by COVID) has plateaued. And this is all because of brand new labor statistics that show the employment rate for people with disabilities has dropped slightly from last year from 37.3% to 36.9% #disabilityemployment #workfromhomejobs

Last week, I attended the 'Driving Disability Employment for Employers" event organized by JobAccess and moderated by Paralympic champion Katrina Webb-Denis PLY OAM. The event featured valuable insights from guest speakers and was followed by panel discussions- Primal Fernando, Anaab Rooble MAICD, Kerrie Loveless, and Sophie B. This seminar brought together leaders, advocates, and professionals to explore strategies for creating disability-confident workplaces and the benefits of #inclusive hiring practices. **Key points shared** **The importance of addressing both #physical and #digital accessibility. **Proactively asking candidates about any required adjustments before interviews. **Ask the person (ATP). Please don't assume. **Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. **The critical role of leadership in driving disability inclusion. Speakers shared that 90% of employees with #disabilities are as productive or more productive than their peers. Moreover, disability-inclusive organizations often outperform their peers in financial performance and productivity. A 10% increase in the employment of people with disabilities could add to Australia's economic output. #Disabilityadvocate #disabilityemployment #equalopportunities
