"For a disability peer-focused community service organization this was a fairly straightforward process.
As an organization serving people with disabilities, it is important for our workforce to reflect the people we serve. As such, we take pride in the fact that well over fifty percent of our staff are people with lived experience of the disabilities of those we serve. With this comes a responsibility to have staff policies and programs in place that support successful employment of people with disabilities, all of which support safe disclosure of disabilities by staff members."
