Getting it right for every employee: Career progression 

October 16 | 10:00 am 11:00 am

Person with a less-visible disability has coffee with a friend.

This webinar series explores the employee life cycle from recruitment, then retention, and onto career progression.  It aims to equip employers with resources and practical tips to improve their practice, raise awareness of the importance of workplace adjustments, and transform the experience of disabled employees. 

In the last webinar of our ‘Getting it right’ series, Diane Lightfoot (CEO) and Angela Matthews (Director of Policy and Research) share insights from our research and some top practical tips for what inclusive progression and career development looks like for disabled employees. 

The webinar will answer the following questions: 

  • What do promotion, development, and progression at work mean? 
  • What do disabled employees want from work in the next few years – and how do your policies and inclusion plans allow for this? 
  • How do you know what your disabled employees want, and how do performance appraisals and progression plans fit into this? 

Diane and Angela will share the top key things that employers can do to ensure disabled employees are developing in the way they want to and can co-design their career with you as their employer. 

The webinar will assume delegates are familiar with the knowledge covered in the previous webinars – the basics of disability for organisations, disability-inclusive recruitment and retaining disabled talent. 

Please note, this webinar is number 4 in a series of 4. The webinar will assume delegates are familiar with the knowledge covered in the previous webinars: the basics of disability for organisations, disability-inclusive recruitment and retaining disabled talent. Recordings of previous webinars will be shared if you book a place on this one.

This webinar is open to all, but will be particularly useful for business leaders, HR professionals, and D&I professionals.
