The National Disability Authority has recently published a guide that provides private sector employers with information about how to help employees who have acquired a disability to stay in work. The guidance is based on research evidence and good practice and is intended to be useful to workplaces of any size. The guidelines provide useful information on Employer obligations (e.g. legislation); Employer supports that are available (e.g. Specialist advice and support services); How to develop formal policies on retaining employees who acquire a disability; building capacity to support employees with disabilities; Key steps to retaining employees; Useful contacts and additional resources that can assist your organization.
The guidance is intended to be useful to workplaces of any size and the NDA recommend that as organisations differ in size, in structure and in other ways, a good return to work policy will be specific to an individual organisation’s needs.
