Dedication, professional attitude and willingness to take on new challenges.

Whether it entails the research, design, production, or quality assurance needed to put those products to the market and in the hands of those who need it. Knowing my work is being done for the greater good makes those times that may seem tedious or difficult, worth it.

The AODA Employment Standard – Are You Ready?
The Ontario Human Rights Code requires all employers to meet the accommodation needs of employees with disabilities to the point of undue hardship. Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Employment Standard builds on this requirement.
As of January 1, 2017, all employers must integrate accessibility across key stages of the employment life cycle.
What is required?
Generally speaking, organizations must now ensure that their HR practices, policies and procedures explicitly consider accessibility issues in the areas of:
- Recruitment, Assessment, Selection and Hiring
- Employee Management
- Information and Communication
- Policies
