Disability and your business
Businesses have a duty to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). It is essential that you and your staff know how to respond.
The DDA requires employers and service providers to make appropriate and 'Reasonable Adjustments' to allow employees to work more efficiently and without substantial disadvantage.
Our job is to help you make these adjustments in an affordable way so that you can maximise the benefits of working with and serving disabled people.
What are the risks of doing nothing?
- Loss of valuable skills that only a diverse workforce can provide
- Fines, court orders and legal fees
- Loss of reputation
What are the benefits of positive action?
- Reduced risk
- Informed and motivated staff
- Better access for disabled customers and staff
- The opportunities to tap in to a wider workforce
- Improved image and brand
- Access to funding
