Disability Assessments

Could your attitude towards disability be affecting your business?

If you have lost good staff, or had difficulties recruiting have you ever wondered why? Perhaps you see your insurance premiums rising or you have had to pay out large sums in compensation. Many of these issues can be related to the way in which an employer deals with disabilities at work.

Not sure how to manage disabilities ?

Most people think of a disability as something you're born with but in reality one in five adults in the UK will develop a disability during their working life.  So the chances are someone you work with has a disability and as an employer you need to be dealing effectively with disabilities.

See our list of some of the more common disabilities

• Difficulties with moving for example arthritis

• Mental health problems such as depression

• General health problems such as diabetes

• Specific health problems such as hearing or sight loss

Reducing the impact of disabilities at work?

We know that businesses who manage ill-health and disabilities effectively have reduced employment costs such as recruitment and injury claims. If you want these benefits for your business then you need to offer appropriate support for employees with disabilities.

Using Disability Risk Assessments to provide the right level of support

Using a disability risk assessment will give you the right information to know if your staff need more assistance at work. A risk assessment will show what need to be done whether thats changes to the workplace, altering a scheduling or simply selecting the right piece of equipment for the job.
