Adjustments

Many employers are failing to ask about reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, reveals new research.

According to the publication, Personnel Today, one employer in five in the private sector does not ask about adjustments that may be required for disabled workers. This figure rises to nearly one in three among small and medium-sized organisations in the sector.

A further one in three private sector employers seeks information on adjustments only after an offer of employment is made.

Public sector employers are far more likely to ask about required adjustments at the start of the job application process, either via job ads, application forms or application information supplied to candidates.
