A Practical Guide to Simplifying What Your Workplace Needs to do to Ensure Compliance
The Ontario Government took a key step toward building a more accessible province when it passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) calling for the development of standards for accessibility in five key areas of daily living: Customer Service, Information and Communications, Employment, Transportation, and Built Environment.
If you are uncertain if you are currently in compliance with the Customer Service Standard, or if the requirements moving forward are not clear to you, this workshop will provide a straight-forward process that will assist you in determining how AODA applies to your workplace.
With deadlines under the Integrated Standard due to come into effect in January 2014 for many private sector employers, this comprehensive workshop provides employers with both the legal and practical context to AODA. The information has been simplified and our Instructor is a subject matter expert who has provided training to a diverse range of employers and employees in the National Capital Region.
This workshop is offered within organizations for groups of 5 people or more.
