"A
strong workforce is an inclusive workforce: what can YOU do?" That is the
theme of this year's National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and the
question the Office of Disability Employment Policy hopes all employers are
asking themselves.
As part of the month-long observance, ODEP and federal
agencies will showcase a variety of events and speaking engagements and
highlight resources available to employers and employees alike.
Kathy Martinez,
assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy, kicked off NDEAM
on Oct. 1 at the United States Business Leadership Network (USBLN) 15th Annual
Conference and Expo, where she delivered remarks following the signing and
renewal of the ODEP/USBLN alliance. "Only by talking and working closely
with all those who have a stake in employing people with disabilities can we
expand the conversation about disability employment," Martinez told the
group. "And, it's the only way we can foster real, significant and long
lasting change."
