Every year as part of our MyPlus Recruiters’ Club calendar we run an event on mental health and employment, and every year it is one of our most popular events amongst our employer members. This year was no exception. To help employers understand more about the challenges that early career individuals with mental ill health face and what can be done to support them during recruitment and in the workplace we were joined by experts working in mental health as well as those with first-hand experience of mental ill health.
Progressing disability confident employment
People are an organisations most valuable asset and business success is dependant on the ability to include and harness the unique talents of everyone, including individuals with a disability. Most progressive organisations will understand that disabled individuals have developed skills and talents to help them manage their disability, many of which are of great value to, and sought after by, employers.
