Working well together: health and disability in recruitment

As the government endeavours to support more people with disabilities and health conditions into work, employers face a changing landscape to attract the talent they need.

This Personnel Today masterclass, the first of three in association with Make UK, focuses on health and disability in the context of talent acquisition.

With increasing numbers of working-age people living with a disability, now is a good time for employers to think about whether their recruitment processes are fit for purpose.

With proposed changes to employment law and skills shortages in all sectors of the economy, this webinar explores your legal obligations to applicants with disabilities and health conditions and suggests practical ways of improving your recruitment and onboarding processes, to help you recruit the workforce you need, safely and fairly.

Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Charlotte Hagestadt, solicitor and principal legal adviser at Make UK, and Chris Newson, the group’s environment, health and safety director, to examine the challenges and opportunities when hiring people with health conditions.

This 30-minute online masterclass comprises a presentation and discussion together with an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
