Course Overview
The Employment Standard will help employers make their workplaces more accessible to new and current employees with disabilities.
The majority of people with a disability require no accommodations at all. A recent study found that when accommodations are required, employers reported that 56% of accommodations cost absolutely nothing to make, while the rest typically cost only $500
or less.
For such a small cost, the rewards are immeasurable, for your organization, for your new and existing employees, for the bottom line of your business.
The Employment Standard, as outlined in this module, addresses the processes and procedures organizations follow in recruiting and accommodating their employees. The standard will help people with disabilities participate in our labour force and economy, and will help employers find untapped talent.
In this module you will learn about the requirements of the Employment Standard.
