| By 2004, all organisations must improve access for the disabled or face legal action under tough new anti-discrimination laws. Wide Learning, leading global provider of e-learning solutions have created online courses to help businesses meet these new requirements.
Courses have been designed to raise disability awareness at work, show staff how to welcome disabled customers and prevent discrimination.
Alan Calder CEO of Wide Learning says: "The courses are designed for employers and employees at all levels, particularly customer-facing staff and those within Human Resources, equipping them with a set of skills essential to promoting equal opportunities and fulfilling legal obligations."
Notes to the Editor
The 1995 Disability Discrimination Act will affect all areas of disability discrimination in the workplace through physical change, procedural and practical alterations.
The disabled population represent a potential client-base of 8.6.million, with $45 billion of wealth.
