Since our objective is to create change here are some suggestive solutions we put forward
· Creating awareness of employment and disabled people via media such as radio, television, booklets etc. Furthermore, the highlighting of disabled individuals whom prove to be successful in the workplace. This could help alleviate the stigma attached to disabled workers.
· Sanctions against employees who don’t conform to disables peoples needs
· Creation of “trade unions” such as “Global disability” in that we aim to control, monitor and protect disabled jobseekers and employees.
· The “Employer Network on Disability” was created to give disabled people opportunities and is propagated by the “Employers Federation of Ceylon” (EFC).The EFC facilitates disabled individuals into the workplace by way of placement. The above occurred in Sri Lanka and is thus a mechanism that needs to be implemented in the S.A workplace so as to facilitate disabled people in our workplace.
· Design is also another factor that needs to be rectified in the workplace. This policy needs to be enshrined into workplace objectives .So as to make provisions to accommodate disabled individuals in the workplace. The ILO (International Labour Organisations) disabled design policy can be used as an excellent basis
