KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. The buy-in for businesses is critical. We must show business value – reduced turnover, reduction in call outs, dedicated and loyal workforce.
2. Having open and honest closed-door conversations with line supervisors is a key to success. It is critical to ensure that objections or fears are heard and discussed openly.
3. Empowering employees through proper training, disability etiquette, and giving the opportunity to voice any concerns after the training is complete.
