Locating, hiring and accommodating savvy professionals who live with disabilities doesn’t mean that you have to move mountains. Organizations, both small and large, can begin to be more inclusive, right now, many times, with resources that are already a part of the organization. Whether you’re concerned about finding the right staff in a declining workforce, or you see the long-term value diversity and inclusion bring, this free workshop, sponsored by WeCo, can help you get started.
The event sponsor, Digital Accessibility by WeCo, is a company founded and staffed by digital technologists who live with disabilities and named a Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability (NOD) in 2019, 2020 and 2021. You’ll learn first-hand from WeCo’s Operations and Management Teams what your future employees need to feel included, and how you can succeed as a disability employer.
