Employers

As Employers, you are already aware of the many responsibilities you have when it comes to your staff.

Having an employee with a disability can sometimes be daunting. It’s OK to admit that – and be the best employer you can be by accepting expert advice. As you know, every employee is different, regardless of their health – and each brings their own skills and qualities to your organisation.

Well valued and treated employees are likely to be long-term employees, saving you time and money on hiring, training, and settling new staff. Did you know that an employee with a disability is much more likely to be a life-time employee if they are treated well from the start?

Unfortunately, despite legislation and government initiatives encouraging those with disabilities into the workplace, many staff members leave through lack of support or issues with reasonable adjustments not being made. Often, this is down to miscommunication between employer and employee, and so the company loses a potential major asset to the business.

Let Unlimited Access & Inclusion help your organisation by:

• Preparing you, as a manager, to receive your new employee
• Understanding your employees’ needs through facilitating ‘Reasonable Adjustments’ meetings
• Preparing your new staff member as to what to expect from your workplace
• Auditing the workplace to identify potential hazards and possible problems your new employee – and providing you with a comprehensive report as to how these might be resolved
• Providing training to your staff around Equality & Diversity (and also the new employees health condition, if their consent is given) to support the entire team and reduce uncertainty and fear of the unknown
• Helping you find funding if needed – you’ll be surprised how little reasonable adjustments will actually cost your organisation!
