Good Day!

Employment Placement & Support Services and the Employment Partnerships team would like to thank you for being part of our journey this past year. Thank you for the time you took to complete our surveys, for the wonderful stories you shared and for partnering with us to create meaningful positions for people with disabilities. We are truly grateful that you are supporting the creation of diverse and inclusive businesses all throughout Central Alberta.

On August 8th the program will come to its natural contractual end; although after this time, services will not be offered directly through the Employment Partnerships program, EPSS will continue to support employers to increase their knowledge of the benefits of hiring people with disabilities. We also hope to continue out partnerships with service providers in the Central region in any way that benefits the employment of people with disabilities.
Our team will continue to be available via phone or email to discuss initiatives or employment connections that may benefit the continuous advocacy of inclusion and diversity in the workplace.

We wish you all a great summer and hope your businesses grow and prosper over the upcoming years.

Thanks again from the Employment Partnership Team:
Jolene Van Vliet, Natashia King, Tammy Norris and Brian Ennis

INCLUSION TIP THURSDAY!!!

Inclusion TIP #44: Take an inclusive approach to interviewing candidates for open positions.
If this post looks familiar, it is a refresher course from a post we put on Facebook back in 2011! Please read on and enjoy

Inclusive practices can create a feeling of welcome for diverse participants at every stage of the game in your organization. Look over your interview process and see where you and your team may be able to improve upon your existing approach to reflect the importance you place on accessibility and inclusion in the workplace.

The National Service Inclusion Project features a number of helpful and easy-to-use guidelines around inclusive interviewing http://www.serviceandinclusion.org/handbook/index.php?page=sectionv; add to this guidance for culturally competent and inclusive interviews by following the guide from Diversity Office Magazine http://diversityofficermagazine.com/cultural-competence/the-top-ten-culturally-competent-interviewing-strategies/.
