•    Preparing co-workers
•    Adjusting hours of work

Our employer panelists will share strategies that worked, and also those that didn’t work so well.

ABOUT THE STRATEGY & THESE WEBCASTS
This session is part of an ongoing series of Learning Webcasts for Employment of Persons with Disabilities, part of Alberta’s Employment First Strategy.

The Alberta Employment First Strategy focuses on ensuring that Albertans with disabilities have access to and are supported in meaningful job opportunities that contribute to a rich and fulfilling life. With these webcasts, we hope to provide a forum for open dialogue to discuss issues around employment for individuals with disabilities. These sessions are intended to spark the collective imagination of individuals, families, agencies, and employers on how we can all work collaboratively to create inclusive workplaces and communities.
