Breaking Down Barriers for Employees With Disabilities

We hope you can join us for an engaging and interactive discussion tailored for HR & benefits professionals on how to break down barriers for employees with apparent and non-apparent disabilities and create an inclusive workplace culture where everyone can thrive.

Nine million U.S. employees have a disability, but the numbers are certainly higher. Disabilities aren’t always obvious and some, like long-COVID or depression, may not be apparent to colleagues.

Joyce Bender, CEO at Bender Consulting Services, an international leader and advocate for disability employment will share insights and lead a panel discussion with members of Pittsburgh’s business and non-profit community. You’ll leave energized with actionable strategies that your organization can implement to strengthen employee engagement.

Topics we’ll cover:

• Why disability inclusion in the workplace matters today
• How to encourage employees to self-identify
• Steps you can take to create a more inclusive workplace for persons with disabilities
• Examples of impactful benefit and wellbeing programs that can help support employees and caregivers
