February 1, 2018 [Mathematica Policy Research Event.] Breaking Down Work Barriers for People with Disabilities: Opportunities for Employers March 1, from 1:00–2:30 p.m. (ET) Live Webinar Register for the webinar.<http://links.news.mathematica-mpr.com/ctt?kn=14&ms=MTg5NDA0MTMS1&r=Mjc2OTIyOTA2NjI0S0&b=0&j=MTIwMDA0NzA2NAS2&mt=1&rt=0> According to a recent article published by the IZA Journal of Labor Policy<http://links.news.mathematica-mpr.com/ctt?kn=39&ms=MTg5NDA0MTMS1&r=Mjc2OTIyOTA2NjI0S0&b=0&j=MTIwMDA0NzA2NAS2&mt=1&rt=0>, at least one-third of people with disabilities who are not working say they deal with barriers that could be alleviated through workplace accommodations like assisted transportation or flexible schedules. Findings from the 2017 National Employment and Disability Survey<http://links.news.mathematica-mpr.com/ctt?kn=3&ms=MTg5NDA0MTMS1&r=Mjc2OTIyOTA2NjI0S0&b=0&j=MTIwMDA0NzA2NAS2&mt=1&rt=0> reveal that many employers strive to recruit, train, and accommodate workers with disabilities, yet findings from qualitative research suggest that employers may not deploy the resources and processes at their disposal consistently, or with equal efficacy, to benefit all employees with disabilities. On March 1, from 1:00–2:30 p.m. (ET), Mathematica’s Center for Studying Disability Policy<http://links.news.mathematica-mpr.com/ctt?kn=40&ms=MTg5NDA0MTMS1&r=Mjc2OTIyOTA2NjI0S0&b=0&j=MTIwMDA0NzA2NAS2&mt=1&rt=0> (CSDP) will host a webinar to examine these issues. Panelists will discuss: (1) actions employers can take to better accommodate employees with disabilities; (2) feedback from employer interviews about the challenges associated with recruiting and retaining workers with disabilities; and (3) findings from the National Employment and Disability Survey, recently released by the Kessler Foundation.
