communication strategies.
Ensuring Access to Information - Ensuring
that all employees have access to the information that is needed to be

use to educate their employees on the key elements for successfully
integrating employees with disabilities. Similarly, it can be a great tool
for community agencies that provide educational programs to employers in
their communities.

Comment: This video was produced several years ago.
Unfortunately, some of the technology (computers) seen in
the video are outdated. The content of the video, however,
is solid and does very effectively give an insightful
overview of the considerations for effectively integrating
employees with disabilities into the team. (Canadian customers
should note that the Americans with Disabilities Act is
regularly referred to in this video.) |
