Recruitment & Employment Confederation’s Post

Join our free webinar on disability-inclusive recruitment on 16 May. We will discuss ways to identify and remove the barriers disabled employees face in the recruitment process, from job descriptions to onboarding. Our CEO Diane Lightfoot and Head of Policy and Research Angela Matthews will address the following questions: - What do disabled people need when applying for a job? - How should employers ask candidates about adjustments? - What gives disabled people the best start in an organisation? This webinar is the second in our 'Getting it right for every employee' series, which explores the employee life cycle from recruitment through to retention and career progression.
