COVID-19 Tools

icon tool 10Our new COVID-19 tools will help businesses leverage the talents of people with disabilities in order to weather the impact of the virus and recover after the pandemic. Our tools have information about psychological health and safety, accommodations during the pandemic, tips for inclusion initiatives and workplace culture, keeping workers safe, and technology supports. Businesses that foster an inclusive workplace and hire with diversity in mind stand to benefit the most once the world shifts back to normal.

Research clearly indicates that including workers with disabilities generates measurable improvements to workplace culture, morale, staff retention, safety and innovation.

Workplace accommodation around disability enables workers to contribute their full range of skills, talents and abilities.

It is critical for employers to recognize the importance of workplace psychological health and safety. COVID-19 has highlighted the need to manage workplace stress and mental health.

Accessibility is an important feature of inclusion: it allows workplaces to build adaptability, resilience and recovery capacity during COVID.

“Diverse teams are more innovative—stronger at anticipating shifts in consumer needs and consumption patterns that make new products and services possible, potentially generating a competitive edge.”

The safety needs of customers and workers with disabilities can serve as a benchmark for businesses in their efforts to keep all workers and customers safe during this pandemic.
