Hiring People with Disabilities: Recruitment, Onboarding, and Retention

Find and Keep Staff to Help your Business Succeed

Description

Connecting with the persons with disabilities community can help meet your staffing needs. Come learn recruitment and hiring strategies with us and let’s continue our accessibility journeys together.

Join Jamie Millar-Dixon (Principal Consultant, MacLeod Silver HR) alongside guest speakers and equip yourself with ideas and tools during this free webinar.

This session contains two portions with a break in between. First, from 1:00pm to 1:45pm, we will look at how to create job postings, conduct interviews and manage other parts of the recruitment process from an accessibility point of view. This portion features Sharlie Niessen (GM Human Resources, London Drugs) and business owners at various stages of their accessibility journey.

Second, from 2:00pm to 2:45pm, we will look at accessible onboarding and retention: how do we start new hires on their best footing, set them up for success, and keep them in our company? This portion features Amelia Cooper (Referrals Analyst, Tsawwassen First Nation).

This webinar is the companion to Hiring People with Disabilities: Four Pillars and HR Planning from September 5th. All who attend the series will receive a link to the brand new Disability Confidence Toolkit and be invited to enter a draw for 4 hours of 1:1 coaching with MacLeod Silver HR, an amazing value!
