There are significant barriers for people with disabilities to obtain employment. So, what can employees do to help bridge this gap?
On the latest episode of the HR Think Tank, we discuss this topic with Simon Darcy who is the Professor of Social Inclusion at the University of Technology Sydney Business School. He believes passionately in the rights of all people to fully participate in community life.
We discuss:
- Simon’s employment prospects with his disability
- common employment barriers for people with disabilities,
- what employers can do to make their company more inclusive,
- tips around recruitment, onboarding and management of an employee with a disability, and
- the UTS Disability Scholarship
