February 2, 2022 - A Staffing Solution for Your Business: Disability Inclusion in Your Workplace

The Surrey Board of Trade, as part of our workforce and diversity, equity & inclusion portfolios, encourage you to attend this event as an option to help you with your staffing needs.

What do you think of when you hear the word disability in the workplace? Disabilities can be visible or invisible, but we all know someone who has a disability. Reports estimate one in five Canadians has a disability. For too long, organizations focused on their outputs and lacked the oversight to build a more inclusive workplace. However, now more than ever, organizations realize that by not employing people with disabilities, they are missing out on a dynamic, talented, bold, and innovative workforce. A healthy workplace reflects its community.

Join us for this informative event. You will hear about inclusive workplaces, legal requirements, correct terminology and how pursuing diversity and inclusion will give you a competitive advantage and broader consumer reach.

Speakers:

• Dan Coulter, MLA and Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility.
• Marco Pasqua, Inspirational Speaker, Accessibility Consultant and Entrepreneur 
• Yat Li, Senior Accessibility Consultant, Presidents Group
