“I can’t believe how quickly my studies have progressed. It hasn't been without a whole lot of challenges, though, but that’s what makes me who I am. I should be graduating with first class honors and really looking forward to starting work next year. Fortunately, I have been talking with EmployMe over the last 3 months. They have been excellent in helping me prepare my resume and provided me with great advice and interview practice as well.

Wow! I really like the mission of this business. It is giving hope to our physically challenged members of the society. :) It is empowering to see that they can compete for any job just like the others.
ReplyDeleteI am just wondering if there were any cases of discrimination against them before? and how was it handled? If discrimination happens, how can they respond to it properly? Is there any process? :) Thank you!
Hi Ann Marie! What a great idea!! Thankyou so much for this insight. Yes, there are plenty of cases of discrimination, unfortunately....And it is not always well handled by the employer or employees. And as you alluded to in your comment, it is not always easy to respond to. Yes, there is a process what can be used to address such issues. We have developed some methodologies here at EmployMe, and I think it would be a great idea to post these checklists on our blog. We will work to do this soon.
ReplyDeleteYou know there are a whole host of audits and checklists that we have developed to help not only those with a disability but employers. Many employers ask us to help them educate their workplace about fairness and conduct in their workplace. There is no place for discrimination, but we need to address it to stamp it out.
We also have some other services we provide to help businesses set up their workplaces to accommodate those with a disability. There are some areas of the business that needs to be analyzed to ensure accessibility and inclusion for disabled employees. For instance:
– Are your human resource policies and practices accessible?
– Do you have policies ensuring that the recruitment process is accessible to persons with different disabilities?
– Do you have policies and resources which ensure that provision of reasonable accommodation, allowing persons with disabilities to work in your organization?
– Are your information and communication systems accessible?
– Is your website accessible?
– Is sign language interpretation available?
– Are documents available in Braille?
– Are your physical facilities accessible?
– Are our buildings, office spaces, facilities accessible?
– Do you collect data on the number of persons with disabilities which benefit from your development activities?
– Do you design your development projects and programmes to ensure that persons with disabilities can participate and benefit?
• And many others
Thanks Ann Marie for your comments. We hope you don't find this response too long. It is just that we know there is a lot of work to do to remove discrimination or unfairness from our workplaces and it’s time to address this now.
Look out for our checklists and information guides coming to this blog soon.
Best wishes from EmployMe.
