Be An Employer Of Choice

Accessibility Training

It’s important that all members of your workplace are trained on accessibility and inclusion in the workplace. Research shows that an inclusive workplace which prioritizes equity and inclusivity leads to

  • decreased stress
  • improved mental and physical well-being
  • increased productivity

Training and professional development can help you and your employees

  • understand why equity and inclusion are important in the workplace
  • learn how to recruit and hire for diversity
  • increase cultural competence by learning about issues impacting the different cultures in your community
  • recognize possible barriers in the workplace
  • improve overall workplace culture

Training should be completed during the onboarding process. It should also be done anytime you make changes to your accessibility policies. Your training should include

  • accessible customer service training
  • the Ontario Human Rights Code
  • work-related accessibility training that is relevant to your workplace
  • any changes to your accessibility policies

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to training! Here are some helpful training tools that include online courses, webinars and workshops for employers, employees and board members.
