orientation and other diversity training efforts

Businesses should educate all
staff on disability issues – during
new staff orientation and ongoing
diversity training programs. You
should also provide continuing
information on disability issues
and legislation.
But there’s more!
Guess again!
Almost…
One strategy for creating
barrier-free employment is
creating a physically
accessible work environment.
Utilize tools to conduct a brief
facility audit to ensure you have
accessible facilities and
services, including accessible
parking, routes, entrances, and
work areas.

Close, but there is more!
As required by the ADA, employers
must reasonably accommodate
qualified applicants and employees
with disabilities. This includes ensuring
that employees with disabilities can
participate in employer-sponsored
training events and have procedures in

with disabilities to management &
supervisory positions.

CORRECT!
There are many strategies for successfully employing people with
disabilities that increase workplace integration, promote productivity
and efficiency for your new employee, improve employee morale, and
encourage overall business success. These include staff training on
disability issues, accessible facilities, providing accommodations,
training, and advancement opportunities for your new employee, and
utilizing federal tax incentive programs.

people with disabilities, read the U.S. Dept. of Education’s
