SHRM-KC Membership Program: Be and Influencer- How to Make Disability Inclusion Part Of Your Culture - Irrespective of Your Title

Develop skills in furthering disability inclusion in the workplace- irrespective of your title or position  on an organizational chart.

This highly interactive session will explore how you can influence change to reduce the stigma that many people who experience disability face in their employment journey.  This training will give attendees an understanding of the disability inclusion journey from the role of individual contributor to the enterprise.  We will establish a “safe place” to ask those tough questions and get direct feedback to help strengthen skills and perspectives. This session will spotlight case studies to illustrate the ability to be a change agent to help overcome various internal barriers to companies becoming disability inclusive. Finally it will help each participant to identify what their next step along the journey to inclusion as a person, professional and employee/ employer.
