Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) invites you to attend its webinar “Building Local Partnerships: One Strategy for Hiring and Keeping Workers” on March 20, 2024, at 2 p.m.
People with disabilities are a major source of talent in the U.S. workforce. Hiring skilled disabled workers expands talent pools, drives retention, and boosts productivity. So, how can savvy organizations recruit and retain these candidates?
During this webinar, participants will learn from leaders as they share why forming local partnerships is key to hiring and keeping employees with and without disabilities, and discover practical strategies to help your organization, such as:
➡ Establishing and nurturing partnerships with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and service providers;
➡ Identifying shared goals, priorities, and benchmarks to measure program impact and effectiveness;
➡ Navigating challenges and managing change; and
➡ Celebrating successes to generate support and expand efforts.
Participation is free, but space is limited. Register here.
