Demystifying Disability in the Workplace

Next Monday, November 23rd, the Association for Higher Education Access and Disability (AHEAD) will launch “Demystifying Disability in the Workplace”, a book published by Willing Able Mentoring (WAM).  Senator David Norris will be in attendance and discussion will take place around the illusive topic of reasonable accommodation.

This book aims to provided practical guidelines for managers and supervisors on tackling everyday issues that arise in the recruitment and management of people with disabilities. Taken from the real life experiences of both parties, “Demystifying Disability in the Workplace” includes info sheets on both mental health and physical disabilities. Chapters are dedicated to frequently asked questions including: “What can I ask to make a good recruitment decision?” and “Productivity, health and the fluctuating symptoms of disability”.
