Gain an understanding of the OFCCP's expectations for disability recruiting and hiring.
Employers have long struggled with identifying and recruiting qualified disabled candidates. Businesses may lack strong disabled recruiting partnerships, applicants are reluctant to disclose disabilities, and even well-intentioned accommodation discussions often go awry. Employment rates within the disabled community remain disproportionately low, and OFCCP continues to focus on this issue. In fact, OFCCP's focus on disability hiring has increased notably in recent years, under the leadership of Director Craig Leen. And now, adding to an already complex area, the coronavirus has brought medical issues front and center in employment.
This topic will help employers understand the OFCCP's expectations for disability recruiting and hiring; identify their organization's strengths and weaknesses and create tangible action plans for improvement. This information not only covers legal requirements, but offers practical, nuts-and-bolts advice about how to achieve hiring goals.
