To be more inclusive to people with disabilities, employers should start with their job descriptions (Quartz) - The next time you come across a job posting, look carefully at the description. Do you see requirements such as “good manual dexterity,” “ability to walk, sit, and stand for long periods of time,” “ability to lift up to 20 pounds,” or “own a vehicle,” even for jobs that seemingly wouldn’t require those skills? You might shrug off your sense of minor confusion and apply anyway. But now imagine you’re a job seeker with a disability—and you keep seeing these requirements in every job you’re interested in applying to… Read more

S’ouvrir à la diversité (Métro) - On parle beaucoup du bassin des immigrants pour pallier le manque de main-d’œuvre. C’est certes un groupe important, mais les employeurs devraient considérer les bassins de main-d’œuvre sous-représentés provenant de la diversité. Ouvrir son organisation à la diversité n’est pas une mince tâche. Cela exige de lutter contre les préjugés présents dans l’organisation. Cela requiert aussi d’adapter le processus d’embauche aux groupes sous-représentés… Read more
