Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability Management is perceived and understood to be an important approach to reducing the negative impact, for workers and the company, of absence due to illness and accidents, and to assisting those with disabilities to enter or re-enter the workplace. Disability Management has already become established in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Recently European countries have begun to promote the approach in order to reduce illness related expenses and avoid unemployment, early retirement and costs to the welfare state. In Disability Management and Workplace Integration leading researchers from around the World consider the development of Disability Management over the last three decades. They examine the on-going debate about methodology and implementation of disability management strategies and programmes, highlighting the critical debate about the implications of a stricter cost-benefit approach to Disability Management theory and practice. Professionals involved in workplace integration, researchers approaching workplace integration from a variety of perspectives such as sociology; rehabilitative medicine; psychology; education; social policy; and economics, and students on a range of courses, will appreciate this valuable book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact: Persons with disabilities are America's largest minority and most undertapped workforce. Fact: One in five working Americans will experience disability during their prime working years. Fact: The Americans with Disabilities Act presents new challenges--and opportunities--to employers. Fact: Employers are faced with skyrocketing costs for healthcare, disability payments, and workers compensation. Disability in the workplace can no longer be ignored. Employers must be prepared to manage it--not only to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but to save money and careers. Here at last is the book that shows how. Written by three of the country's foremost authorities on the subject, Disability Management will help you find your way through territory that has been largely uncharted and commonly misunderstood. Step by step, you'll learn to create a disability management program tailored for your organization. You'll find targeted policies, practices, and procedures on every aspect of disability management--from assessing current needs to implementing low-cost job accommodations (ranging from flexible hours to specialized computers) that often boost productivity for employees both with and without disabilities. Dozens of ready-to-use forms and checklists will help you ensure that no crucial areas are being overlooked. Disability Management contains the complete ADA regulations and helps you interpret the Act's more ambiguous concepts. In-depth profiles of disability management programs in eight organizations offer models that you can adapt to your own needs. Also included in this comprehensive book are guidelines for using a case management approach, monitoring and evaluating your program, training supervisors--and preventing disabilities through sound health and safety practices. With a solid disability management program in place, your organization will get a better return on its financial and human resources. By following the guidelines in Disability Management, any business can achieve these far-reaching results: full compliance with the ADA and other legislation; a healthier, more productive, and more diverse workforce; reduced costs for medical care, disability benefits, and workers compensation; fewer absences and workplace disruptions when disability strikes; enhanced employee morale based on increased opportunity; and a better competitive position in a global economy.
Download or read book The Needs and Barriers as Experienced by Employees with Physical Disabilities in the Workplace written by Modiegi Lucricia Mathaphuna and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment of PWD (People with Disabilities) has been taken into serious cognizance by the Government, and various legislations have been passed to ensure that employers mainstream disability in the workplace. It is also known that in South Africa, employed PWD are still underrepresented in the employment sector. The Departments have not yet met the 2% target by the Government (OSDP:2000 & Dube 2005). It is a fact that most PWD are able to work if given opportunities and reasonable accommodations by the employers. There is however, lack of sufficient scientifically determined information on the needs and barriers as experienced by employees with physical disability, resulting in the inability of employer to accommodate those needs in order to ensure maximum productivity amongst people with disabilities in the workplace. Hence, the study attempts to answer the research question of what are the barriers and needs as experienced by employees with physical disabilities in the workplace? The objectives of the study is to explore the working experiences of PWD in the workplace, further to identify the barriers and the needs as experienced by them and to make recommendations to the employer on how to eliminate these barriers, thus addressing the needs of PWD in the workplace. A qualitative research approach was followed in this study to give in-depth description of the experiences, perceptions, and needs of employees with physical disabilities in the workplace. The researcher utilized applied research method which aims at solving problems in order to assist decision-making at line levels, managerial levels and policy levels. A collective case study research design was followed to gather data directly from respondents in their natural environment for the purpose of studying interactions, attitudes and characteristics. The aim is to understand and interpret the meaning that they give in relation to their workplace. A non-probability sampling method was used to select 12 respondents who have a physical disability and are employed within the Government sector for the period of 1 year or more. The data was collected through the semi-structured interviews with an interview schedule. The interview was used to gain a detailed picture of the respondents' experiences, beliefs, regarding the barriers and needs they are experiencing in the workplace. The research results revealed job dissatisfaction and emotional experiences of hopelessness, anger and frustration by the PWD within the workplace. The results of such experiences are attributed to physical and social barriers identified, as well as lack of management support and lack of implementation of existing legislations and policies on managing disability in the workplace. Physical barriers are associated with the physical infrastructure and the working environment, whilst social barriers are associated with the attitude of the employers, supervisors and co-workers towards the PWD (Chima 2002 & Barlow 2003). The needs that were identified were the need for recognition, need for reasonable accommodation, the need for advocacy and empowerment. In essence PWD need to be treated like any other employee within the workplace. They need to be included especially on issues concerning them and their work. Employers need to start making efforts to address the barriers affecting PWD and try to also meet their needs in the workplace. This can be done in consultation with the PWD to create and ensure a conducive working environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, many forms of discrimination against people with disabilities are still practiced, denying opportunity for employees, as well as the employers who might hire and support them. Based on a multi-year research project by a team of experts in human resource management, economics, and communications, Hidden Talent showcases the innovative practices of organizations that are actively hiring, training, and retaining people with disabilities—and thriving as a result. The authors reveal the roots of disability discrimination and demonstrate the benefits, to employers and employees alike, of investing in disabled workers, featuring in-depth case examples. Additional resources, including an overview of the ADA, information on tax and legal incentives, and listing of related publications, organizations, and websites, will make this book essential for anyone researching, managing, or experiencing the dynamics of disability in the workplace. The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law in 1990 to protect and assist over 20 million people with disabilities. Though its mandates for business are far-reaching, many forms of discrimination are still practiced, denying opportunity for employees and potential employees with disabilites, as well as the companies that might hire and support them. Meanwhile, as many analysts argue, we are heading toward a high-skill labor shortage, with a largely untapped resource ready to fill the gap.

Download or read book Disability and Employer Practices written by Susanne M. Bruyère and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the employment of people with disabilities in the United States and the important role of employer practices. Nearly one in five people report some form of disability, and they are only half as likely to be employed as those without disabilities. With the aging workforce and returning military veterans both contributing to increasing number of disabilities in the workplace, there is an urgent need for better ways to address continuing employment disparities for people with disabilities. Examining employer behaviors is critical to changing this trend. It is essential to understand the factors that motivate employers to engage this workforce and which specific practices are most effective. Disability and Employer Practices features research-based documentation of workplace policies and practices that result in the successful recruitment, retention, advancement, and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. The Cornell team whose work is featured in this book drew from multiple disciplines, data sources, and methodologies to learn where employment disparities for people with disabilities occur and to identify workplace policies and practices that might remediate them. The contributors include individuals with expertise in the fields of business, economics, education, environmental design and analysis, human resources, management, industrial/organizational psychology, public health, rehabilitation psychology, research methods, survey design, educational measurement, statistics, and vocational rehabilitation counseling.
