“Inclusive hiring” means that at every stage of the hiring process, people with disabilities have equitable access. This access benefits employees with disabilities as well as employers “because they foster a welcoming work environment by design, leading to long-term success.” By making disability inclusion a priority, employers also gain access to a “wider range of talent” while improving employee morale and boosting productivity. The Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) offers tools, resources, and practical tips to “help employers put inclusive hiring practices” into practices. EARN’s resources provide guidance on accessible job descriptions, applications, interview processes, onboarding, accommodations, and more. For additional details, visit the EARN webpage entitled Spotlight: Inclusive Hiring.
