Breaking Down Barriers for Employees With Disabilities

October 23 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am EDT

Pittsburgh Oct Seminar_1200x627_SOC_LI_FINAL

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
