Building a disability-inclusive organization can help you benefit from a wider pool of talent and gain a competitive edge over businesses that don’t make inclusion a priority. Check out the suggestions below – and the ways EIPD can help:
Attend an NDEAM event
To learn how EIPD can help you develop an inclusive workplace where all employees have the opportunity to thrive, don't miss our special NDEAM event, “Harness the Power of Inclusion” on Thursday, October 29 at 9:30 AM.
Host a VR intern
Take advantage of this easy way to connect with great talent, while providing young people with disabilities valuable career experience. Intern wages are paid by EIPD while they gain on-the-job experience working for your business.
Partner with VR to host a "lunch and learn" webinar
Host a series of "lunch and learn" events for employees with help from the subject matter experts. EIPD staff can help you plan informal, educational webinars that cover important workplace inclusion issues at no cost to your business. For more information on these virtual events, click here.
Connect with your local EIPD office
Employers that partner with EIPD gain access to job-ready candidates and no-cost services and resources for recruitment, onboarding and retention. EIPD can also advise employers on financial incentives for hiring our candidates, workplace accessibility and assistive technology solutions that improve productivity, retention and inclusion of all employees.
For more information, call your Division of Services for the Blind district office or your Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (EIPD) local office.
