DEAM: Is your workplace accessible?

Ramps and automatic doors are crucial. But what about tripping hazards, poor lighting and so many other physical barriers?

And accessibility isn’t just about the physical space. It also includes the websites, software and digital tools employees use every day.

Regularly check your workplace for barriers, both physical and digital. Look for them, fix them and keep checking!

DEAM: Make workplace accommodations simple and standard.

Employees should have a clear, confidential way to ask for the support they need and requests should be handled promptly.

And leadership - be proactive! Don’t wait for someone to reach a crisis. Normalize asking all your employees what they need to do their best work.

Accommodations aren’t special treatment. They’re one way to remove barriers and help employees succeed.

DEAM: Inclusive workplaces need inclusive policies.

Take a fresh look at your workplace policies and ask: Do they support employees with disabilities?

Review all policies, especially those around recruitment and hiring, onboarding, performance reviews and career development.

And make it clear: bullying, harassment and discrimination based on disability will not be tolerated.

Good policies should remove barriers, not create them.

DEAM: Where does an inclusive workplace start? With leadership!

Creating a disability-positive workplace takes more than good intentions. Leaders need to:
✅ Make inclusion a clear priority
✅ If possible, put someone in charge of accessibility
✅ Set clear goals for hiring, retaining and promoting employees with disabilities
✅ If possible, budget for accessibility tools, technology and training

Inclusion works best when leaders make it a priority and provide the resources to make it happen.

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)! ♿

Every year we focus on disproving disability hiring stigma or on why employers should hire people with disabilities - higher profit, better market share, wider talent and customer pool - the list goes on. And we think you get it!

So, this year, we’re taking a different approach. Instead, we’re looking at how employers can attract, support and retain employees with disabilities.

Creating a disability-positive workplace means going beyond legal requirements or performative inclusion. It means building a workplace where people with disabilities feel supported, valued and able to thrive.

And that takes action. Action to make systemic changes in leadership, workplace policies and everyday interactions.

Does YOUR company have what it takes?

Throughout DEAM, we’ll be sharing a basic blueprint to help employers create more inclusive workplaces, with some simple, actionable steps to help. Don’t forget to follow along!

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day serves as one of remembrance, reflection, action and learning; a day to recognize the tragic history and long-standing effects of residential schools, honouring the children who never returned home and the Survivors, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

InclusionNL respectfully acknowledges the territory in which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, and the island of Newfoundland as the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk. We also recognize the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut and the Innu of Nitassinan, and their ancestors, as the original people of Labrador.

We strive for respectful relationships with all the peoples of this province and country as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together.

Did you know that no-pet clauses in residential leases or rental agreements do not apply to a service animal owned by a disabled person?

As well, landlords are legally prohibited from charging extra fees, deposits or surcharges for a service animal.🐕‍🦺

If a service animal has been verified and is demonstrating appropriate behaviour, they and their handlers cannot be denied entry to public spaces, businesses or campus facilities where the public is normally admitted.

Also, public facilities are legally prohibited from charging extra fees, deposits or surcharges for a service animal.❌💰

Today is International Equal Pay Day (as designated by the United Nations General Assembly). It is a day to highlight the ongoing disparity of pay between men and women and the effort to achieve equal pay for work of equal value.

Globally, women earn roughly 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, with this amount remaining largely unchanged for the past two decades.

In Canada, women earn 88 cents to every dollar earned by men based on hourly rates. But let's not pat ourselves on the back too quickly. Looking at annual earnings, that drops to 72 cents! And Canada has one of the largest pay gaps in the G7, ranking 26th out of 31 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries.

Adding the intersectionality of disability and gender, women with disabilities in Canada make approximately 38% less annually than the baseline of men without disabilities. That's 62 cents earned by a disabled woman for every dollar earned by a non-disabled man for doing work of equal value.

Canada, we know better. Now we must do better!🍁
