Putting Accessibility Considerations First in Post-Pandemic Workplace Planning

Description

As the Government of Canada considers a gradual return to the workplace, departments are in the process of looking at options that will bring back some normalcy in operations while maintaining the flexibility to work remotely. While guidelines are under development, accessibility and disability inclusion need to be considered every step of the way.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to an accessible and inclusive return to the workplace. This event will bring together subject matter experts to share their knowledge on topics such as:

• post-pandemic workplace planning and considerations for a hybrid workforce approach
• accessible practices for returning to the workplace
• the benefits of the GC Workplace Accessibility Passport to get the support measures required to succeed
