In this webinar we will define diversity, equity, and inclusion and discuss why it's important to specifically address the needs of colleagues with different abilities. We will also talk about the policies and strategies that can be implemented to ensure that the workplace is inclusive. We will explain how people with different abilities may need different types of accommodations or support, and how managers and colleagues can be trained to be more aware of these needs. Finally, we will discuss how to address any biases or stereotypes that may exist in the workplace, and how to create an environment where people with different abilities can share their perspectives and feel valued.
Employers tend not to identify employees’ lack of essential skills as an immediate challenge to be addressed. Instead, they address business issues arising from their operating environment. These issues, which include low productivity, poor safety records and high error rates, may mask underlying essential skills challenges.
We will discuss productive feedback, performance reviews and touch on training that you can implement in your team.
The landscape of environmental work has changed dramatically in the last ten years. What has transitioned? What are the current trends? How do you keep up with all of these changes? This webinar will help you take a comprehensive look at where we’ve been, what we know now, and what lies ahead.
