From: Rehab Management

The US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP)
recently posted an online tool kit comprised of resources to assist federal
agencies in recruiting, employing, and retaining individuals with
disabilities. 

ODEP, in collaboration with the US Office of Personnel Management, designed a
five-step process that agencies can readily follow to ensure an inclusive
workplace for employees with disabilities. The steps are: employer training,
creating a welcoming environment, recruitment, hiring, and retention. Topics
include “do’s and don’ts” for interviewing, accessibility and accommodations,
how to find technical assistance, and creating a pipeline of candidates.
