ACCESS
TO WORK MANAGEMENT
Following an AtW assessment, various support options may be recommended
for an employee with a disability. It is, however, left to the
employee to ensure that the approved support is delivered in a way
which is effective within his or her employment situation. In the
case of a client who is self-employed, this can impose an additional
workload which is significant to the extent that it adversely affects
operation of the business.
There
can often be areas outside the influence of an employee, such as IT in
a large organization or adaptations to the workplace, where there is
generally no means of ensuring that the approved support is provided in
a timely manner. In the case of a client who is self-employed,
some aspects of the support may lie outside the client's own areas of
knowledge, so that outside assistance is required to implement the
support recommendations.
I offer an AtW management service which sets out
to liaise with all parties, so as to ensure that the support is put in
place and that the disabled person is able to work as effectively
as possible and as soon as possible. This can greatly assist the
employer in such areas as setting up computer adaptive software and
integrating this with in-house systems, as well as reducing the
in-house resources required to implement the support. In a
similar way, it can reduce the time and effort required of a
self-employed person in implementing the recommended support.
