Summary
An informational resource produced by the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work on how their conscious and unconscious attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, and actions can create barriers that prevent disabled people from getting hired. The purpose of this guide is to address the “intention-action gap” that is created when accessibility and inclusion policies are in place (such as in government departments or agencies), but barriers to employment and retention still exist. It dispels common myths about hiring people with disabilities, offers examples of common accommodations, describes some benefits and strategies for making workplaces more inclusive, and discusses ethical use of AI in hiring.
