You will learn how to properly address physical, hidden and combat-related disabilities in the workplace and other social environments. 

This session will provide a candid understanding of common social, cultural and workplace challenges associated with various disabilities. We will also address many of the employment barriers associated with combat-related physical and hidden conditions facing transitioning veterans. You will learn how strategic diversity education, support, innovative accommodations and proactive intervention programs can help establish understanding and eradicate fear caused by myths, misconceptions and other forms of prejudice. Ed Crenshaw will demonstrate how a proper understanding of the issues can positively impact recruiting, increase retention, improve employee interactivity, optimize productivity, enhance public relations and manifest other forms of positive return on investment.
