Workshop to discuss managing disabled employees

MacLeod, principal at MacLeod Law Firm, and two workshop co-leaders will discuss how employers can work effectively with disabled employees (with non-occupational injuries) with solid HR disability management practices.

Topics to be discussed at the workshop will include:

• • What is a disability within the meaning of the Human Rights Code and what is the duty to accommodate;

• • Why having an attendance and sick leave policy and standardizing processes is key to managing absence successfully;

• • Who the key stakeholders are for each aspect and identifying their roles and responsibilities;

• • What elements need to be included in accommodation plans;

• • How to work with all parties collaboratively and facilitate a successful return to work;

• • How to successfully separate medical issues from performance-related matters.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. – noon, at the ESS Direct & Suite Success, 411 Huronia Rd., Unit 5 in Barrie.
