AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) & TRAINING
Assignment Overview
Individuals with differing abilities and disabling conditions also
play an important role in the workforce. As a matter of fact, in
1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed and
employers were encouraged to hire individuals with different
disabilities. There are over 40 million Americans with
disabilities covered by the ADA. With more baby boomers in
the workforce, the number of individuals with disabilities will
continue to escalate. Individuals with the following conditions
are considered disabled: hearing impaired, legally blind,
epileptic, paralyzed, wheelchair users, and speech impaired
according to the ADA. As a result, employers and human
resource professionals are tasked with being more precise about
job requirements, skills needed, and knowledge needed to
perform each job. Also, special accommodations are expected to
be made for disabled workers such as more flexible work
schedules. Companies such as IBM have a long history of hiring
disabled individuals. Thus, human resource professionals are
responsible for staffing, recruiting, and training individuals
with disabilities. One aspect of a thriving employment brand is
the recruitment of individuals with disabilities.
Please begin by reading:
HR Professional’s Toolbox. (2011). Human resources guide to
employing people with disabilities. Retrieved on September 13,
2014 from
http://www.onlinehumanresources.net/hr-ada-overview.html
Myths and fact about people with disabilities. (N.D.). Retrieved
on September 13, 2014 from
http://www.in.gov/spd/files/Myth.pdf
US Department of Labor. (2011). Hiring individuals with
disabilities. Retrieved on September 13, 2014 from
http://www.dol.gov/compliance/topics/hiring-disabilities.htm
Then, drawing on the material in the background readings and
doing additional research, please prepare a 4-5 page paper (not
including the cover and reference pages) in which you:
Analyze the importance of having disabled individuals in the
workforce from a human resource professional perspective and
discuss strategies for selecting and recruiting disabled
individuals in the workforce.
Identify different strategies for retaining disabled individuals in
the workforce.
What trainings could you provide?
Discuss an effective and unbiased hiring process framework of
selecting, interviewing, and recruiting disabled individuals in
the workforce. For example, discuss the importance of
structured interviewing, behavioral interviewing,
reference/background checks, pre-employment screenings, job
offers (e.g., employment-at-will or contracts), and post-offer
screenings.
Assignment Expectations
