Understanding the Rehabilitation Act and
How to Retain Employees With Disabilities
Presented by Peggy Anderson with the Alabama Dept. of Rehabilitation Services
Approved for 1.0 hours of general HRCI credit.
With upcoming Federal contractor mandates on employment people with disabilities, coupled with the desire of businesses to retain valued workers whose job is affected by illness, injury, aging, or disability, this session will have a dual learning objective. The first will be focused on a clear understanding of the new mandates in Section 503 of the Rehab Act and the local resources available to assist businesses at no cost in showing good faith effort and positive outcomes. The second will be to take away knowledge and activities that will minimize turnover & maximize retention of employees, including wounded warriors, who have been affected by physical or mental challenges from disability, aging, or serving in the military.
