[community] FW: Employment Standard Feedback Survey

Thu Oct 5 13:55:48 UTC 2023

Sharing this request for feedback on the accessibility standard for employment:

Hello,

As you know, the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work (CCRW) is dedicated to advancing equitable employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and influencing policy to create an inclusive Canada.

We are currently seeking input on the Standard on employment, open for review until October 17th, 2023. This gathered input will inform the Standard's development.

The Standard comprises nine sections covering various aspects of employment, from structural support and policy to culture, recruitment, retention, and disability management.

CCRW's key recommendations include emphasizing disability confidence, shifting focus from representation targets to genuine inclusion strategies, and advocating for a federal centralized accommodation fund.

You can read our brief in full here - CAN-ASC-1.1 Standard on employment CCRW Summary and Recommendations<https://ccrw.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/CAN-ASC-1.1-Standard-on-employment-CCRW-Summary-and-Recommendations.pdf>

We would appreciate you providing feedback and suggestions on the draft standard and their recommendations through our online survey our survey here. <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CCRWCCRTDraftStandardFeedback>
