The Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) site offers resources to help businesses of all sizes and industries recruit, hire, retain, and advance job seekers with disabilities and develop disability-inclusive workplace cultures.
Covering Essential Employment Stages
EARN highlights four essential components of the employment lifecycle – recruitment, hiring, retention and advancement. Exploring how including people with disabilities in each of these areas helps employers meet their workplace diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility goals.
In addition, the resources include online training courses, useful checklists, policy guides, videos and recorded webinars on issues related to disability inclusion. The site also offers information on topics such as workplace mental health, employment issues related to coronavirus, inclusive telework, federal contractor requirements, and the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace.
