A new Canadian website, Thinking Outside the Box, provides information on supporting employment for persons with disabilities. The site is for employers, job seekers, employees, and union representatives looking for information about making workplaces more accessible and inclusive.
From the press release announcing the launch:
The bilingual tool www.TOTB.ca is designed for employers, job seekers, employees, union representatives and anyone who supports the employment of persons with disabilities. Sections include practical checklists, the obligations of workplace parties, (policies, practices and facilities), success stories, and links to valuable resources.
“This website offers practical solutions to everyone involved in employing and accommodating persons with disabilities. I firmly believe that finding dignified, creative and flexible solutions to workplace accommodation should be embedded into employment processes -accommodation should not be barrier to employment,” says Dauna Jones-Simmonds, Chair, SES. “The goal is to provide the accommodations needed to allow people to do their jobs successfully.”
