Recruiting and retaining best talent
As an inclusive employer, we are devoted to supporting our people and potential employees who are or may become disabled or may need a reasonable adjustment to address a challenge or difficulty at work.
If you feel that you need support or require an adjustment whether this be at any point during the recruitment process, or upon joining us, temporary or permanently, we encourage you to inform us in confidence so that we can support you in the best way possible.
We want you to perform your best at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
During the recruitment process, we will not ask questions about your health or disability, any questions we do ask during the selection process will only relate to the impact during recruitment for the purposes of making adjustments. We will ask each candidate/employee that requests adjustments what works best for them, so that you can understand how to support you effectively
Adjustment examples
Heading
Examples of adjustments during the recruitment process
- Arranging for an interview to be held on the ground floor
- Giving more time for someone to complete any written or reading tests that are part of the interview process
- Allowing a person the opportunity to complete any tests orally
- Offering flexibility with interview and assessment times with regard to having time to eat food and test and/or providing a private place to inject for diabetic candidates
Examples of adjustments for employees
Change to the workplace/physical features:
- An employee with mobility issues has been struggling to get to the office so a provision is made for an accessible car parking space near the office entrance.
Change to the way things are done:
- An employee with a condition that causes drowsiness and lack of energy in the mornings. So their manager agrees for the employee to start their working hours later when this happens.
Provision of an aid eg. specific piece of equipment/software:
- An employee has specific software installed on their computer that allows for voice dictation and listen back functions to help them write reports and read their work for them.
