Inclusion Starts with Understanding

Build confidence, reduce barriers, and unlock the potential of every employee. This engaging, interactive workshop helps employers create more inclusive, accessible, and equitable workplaces by starting with awareness.

Why This Matters

One in five Canadians lives with a disability. Yet misconceptions and inaccessible systems are still common in today’s workplaces. Inclusive employers benefit from stronger teams, broader talent pools, and better retention. These outcomes are only possible when real and perceived barriers are addressed.

What You’ll Learn

Key takeaways include:

• Awareness of disability prevalence and diversity

• Debunking myths and exploring the real business case for inclusion

• Inclusive language and respectful workplace etiquette

• Practical approaches to accommodation and productivity

Who Should Attend

People managers, HR professionals, hiring teams, and diversity champions. Anyone committed to building a more inclusive workplace will benefit from this session.
