Learn what it means to not only be disability compliant but also what it means to be disability competitive.
Employers may neglect to take steps beyond the minimum requirements set forth in the ADA. It is important to understand the difference between minimum ADA compliance and taking additional steps to become more diversity-inclusive and, ultimately, diversity competitive. This topic will help those responsible for hiring, as well as those responsible for managing employees, learn how to become more diversity competitive through diversity inclusion and the importance of doing so while also providing an overview of disability law.
