Business Disability Forum webinar to discuss career progression for disabled employees
Business Disability Forum (BDF) is set to present a new webinar from its series which explores the career life cycle – from recruitment, retention, and progression – for disabled employees.
Taking place on the 16 October 2024 from 10-11am, the ‘Getting it right for every employee: Career Progression’ webinar in October aims to equip employers with resources and practical tips to improve their practice, raise awareness of the importance of workplace adjustments, and transform the experience of disabled employees.
In the last webinar of its ‘Getting it right’ series, Diane Lightfoot, CEO of the Business Disability Forum, and Angela Matthews, Director of Policy and Research at the Business Disability Forum, shared insights from its research and some top practical tips for what inclusive progression and career development looks like for disabled employees.
The webinar aims to answer questions, including what do promotion, development, and progression at work mean.
It will also look at what disabled employees want from work in the next few years – and how an employer’s policies and inclusion plans can allow for this. It will also explore how performance appraisals and progression plans fit into this.
Diane and Angela will share the top key things that employers can do to ensure disabled employees are developing in the way they want to and can co-design their career with you as their employer.
The webinar is number four in a series of four and will assume delegates are familiar with the knowledge covered in the previous webinars: the basics of disability for organisations, disability-inclusive recruitment and retaining disabled talent. Recordings of previous webinars will be shared if you book a place on this one.
The webinar is open to all, but will be particularly useful for business leaders, HR professionals, and diversity and inclusion professionals.
Business Disability Forum recently launched its manifesto setting out five key strategies for creating better experiences and opportunities for disabled people in the workplace, as customers and in society.
