EHRC reports that supporting disabled workers is a win win situation for the employer and employee.
Submitted by Pete Millington on Thu, 17/05/2012 - 15:58
A new report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission has found that disabled people continue to be put at a disadvantage in the workplace. They are not realising their full potential as they are not getting the support they need at work. The report, “A Perfect Partnership,” says that closing the employment gap between disabled workers and non disabled workers can increase the performance of staff across the board.
