Webinar

Whilst it is important to recognise the progress that is being made around disability and employment, it’s hard to ignore the fact that, for many of us, the subject of disability remains an uncomfortable one; we don’t always know what to say, what to do or how to act.

And it is this discomfort that is, in part, preventing us from accelerating our progress at the pace we would like to, and indeed need to, since it prevents us from engaging with a growing talent pool, making the appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process and sometimes even assessing individuals correctly. It’s now time to move on, address our concerns and start making real progress in this area.

During this webinar delegates built their knowledge about what is appropriate in terms of language and behaviours; developed their confidence to engage in conversations about providing support; and explored what is and is not appropriate to ask during interviews.

Feedback:

‘Helen was a brilliant presenter. The information was nuanced and clear and really supportive for the audience’.

‘I gained some better language to use when managing support processes for my employer, and I gained a sense of what questions other professionals have. I felt reassured by the amount of debunking myths that were in the webinar and I'll be sharing that with colleagues’.

The webinar was recorded and the recording will be available free to all Recruiters' Club and Universities' Club members to access and share within their organisations for 1 month following the live event. For details of how to access the recording email lise@myplusconsulting.com

MyPlus Webinars, like the workshops, are practical training sessions designed to up-skill those working in the disability space. With the convenience of being able to participate from where-ever you are based, the aim is also to enable a wider audience to benefit from the expertise and resources of your MyPlus Recruiters’ Club membership. Suitable as an introduction or a refresher, they are appropriate for anyone interested in the area of disability and are open to non-members to book.
