Introduction Sanglin-Grant, S. (2003) explains that equality is the development of policies and practices, the difference in any organization, institution or at Work to be removed. In this case, all persons within the organization are to ensure equal opportunities and equal treatment will be granted. Diversity on the other side is all about embracing the value of individuals in an organization, while at the same time the most of their opportunities. Diversity includes all sorts of people from ethnic minorities, ethnic minorities, older people, women, persons with disabilities and people with unconventional sexual orientations. When organizations embrace diversity, then they increase their levels of creativity, innovation and overall success in its market. Most jobs are not given equal opportunities to individuals based on their origin or physical attributes granted. This has resulted in different types of diversity such as cultural diversity, age diversity, gender diversity and so on. (Miller, Hagen and Johnson, 2002), however, for the purposes of this investigation will focus on people with disabilities.

Before examining the compelling issues in managing diversity in the workplace for people with disabilities it is important that the meaning of the term to understand disability. The Disability Act of 2005 (UK) defines disability as a form of restriction in the process of implementation of social, business and cultural functions through physical, mental, health, mental or physical injury. Statistics in the European Union was conducted, showed that the unemployment rate for a person with a disability, two hundred and fifty percent higher than a person without a disability. This limits their ability to take care of themselves to make contact and develop a high self-esteem. (Ross & Schneider, 1992) Therefore, people with disabilities is isolated at the end or at the end fall into the poverty bracket. These alarming results should promote the efforts of employers and other stakeholders in the companies. Employers must ask themselves what can they set up policies and procedures to promote equality? What are the benefits of providing opportunities for people with disabilities? “What negative consequences of non-compliance (laws and regulations) result? Finally, and case studies, companies can use this concept further? (Holly, 1998) Outcomes for people with disabilities equal opportunities The integration of people with disabilities in the company should be a top priority for all companies in the country-large or small due to the following reasons. First, there is a relevant company access to a different kind of labor. There is a growing misconception that people with disabilities can not perform within an organization parameters. However, this is a serious mistake, because many companies do not this category of individuals, but most of them are highly qualified tapped. Kandola and Fullerton (1998) claim that the current American workforce has changed dramatically. Gone are the days when there was a provision for surplus labor. These days, competing organizations, to maintain some of the best people. In addition, it is necessary to fill gaps in the labor market, by all possible resources. (Elmuti, 1993) Second, organizations that embrace diversity in relation to persons with disabilities a chance, qualified staff, not hindered, if they had started working for the organization had, but was turned off if it was part of the organization get to keep. Statistics show that eighty percent of all cases of disability occurring in adulthood. Therefore, companies that diversity management are made to self have prepared better for such eventualities and is still their newly disabled employees. (Sanglin-Grant & Schneider, 2000) directly benefit from the addition

skills and experiences of people with disabilities, businesses, an inclusive environment, a positive image of their company in the eyes of its stakeholders to have promoted create. Suppliers, consumers, local community, government, investors and others who participated in such an organization and will continue operations them. This forms the basis for good principles of social responsibility.

organizations employ, or consistency of opportunities for people with disabilities are also better prepared to do the same to the public. Such companies may deal out of the way to the consumers with disabilities and they can go to increase their customer base. (McNerney, 1994) Consequently, such companies will become more competitive than others, and their profit margins increase. The management of diversity in the workplace is important for people with disabilities, because it can recruit additional resources from interest groups within the industry. Many people with disabilities have supported a broad access to, and fellowships. This means that employers need not worry about the development of their own resources to support these people. (Ellis & Field Sun, 1993), Embracing diversity is a long way in solving the problem go service and product-development strategies. This is because such companies will attract prospects from different types of people and this encourages creativity. In line with this argument, some markets are one, as very important in the work nor most of them are made up of unconventional groups such as people with disabilities. This can go a long way in improving their business potential. (Thomas & Y, 1996) Also, if a company offers opportunities for people with disabilities. Then they can challenge the conventional thinking methods in the workplace. This means that these companies eliminate boundaries in other similar enterprises. Also they will demonstrate that they embrace strategic opportunities. (Storey, 1992) use policies and procedures that employers, in order to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities / organizations should be equality and Diversity Management in their recruitment exercises demonstrate. Operators must ensure that the selection criteria used, so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities. This means that eg the method used should not be discriminatory interview. Moreover, the only goal in every practice setting, most competent person sign up and recruit on the basis of other non-job ratios. Companies should enable job seekers and the opportunity to prove that they released to do a job without them wrongly. (Gardenswartz & Rowe, 1998) In addition, the company, the recruitment behavior through various channels or managers, to ensure that all their representatives are aware of equality and diversity in the workplace. This means that companies should educate or train their employees about diversity issues. You can do this by talking to them a series of brochures and manuals to do diversity. You also need to reconnect with courses and seminars on how to meet people with disabilities in the workplace. Seminars should not only open to executives, but should be for all employees. (Wilson et al, 1999), organizations can also statements (written submissions) about people with disabilities in their respective organizations in order to smooth out people with a disability, the workplace experience. In addition, companies need to do regular check-ups and meetings with their staff, to lead them to diversity management. Them were practical examples of how people with disabilities to wok. For example, documents written in Braille, adding important files in the lower gears for people with a disability to access among others. (Ford, 1996) organizations can also help to promote equality in the workplace by making infrastructure changes eg office equipment more user friendly for people with disabilities. For example, companies can transform their application to various computer aids record. For example, they could place a screen reader, where people can hear with visual information on the intranet of the company by a voice. Besides this, companies can offer their information in a black-and-white form, making it just as possible to follow color-blind users to events within their workplace. Companies can enjoy their support for people with disabilities through after them all the rights and privileges as other staff such as package tours, charity events and other activities show business. (Twnley, 1990) eTime can, it is particularly difficult to meet for a person with a disability to certain physical tasks, this means that they need the help of a third party. The government has a law for ‘possible transfer to improve the access officers “in every business, the nature of a people job opportunities. The work of the Access Officer is to ensure that all people with disabilities aware of the benefits entitled to them, and they effectively use. Companies have all the necessary infrastructure required to support people with disabilities. These can include them tailor-made desks, with enough space for wheelchair passage, modification rest room facilities to accommodate them. (Bartz, et al, 1990) < / p> organizations also need the environment to make a positive or neutral in relation to a person with a disability. you should treat them with respect and dignity at all times in 1996 to strengthen this principle. (Cassell,) < ; / p> Career development within a particular organization should be fair and transparent. There should be no place for discrimination on the basis of individual physical disabilities. The latter category of individuals should be given equal opportunities than any other to grow, and develop within the organization. The companies have a set procedure for promoting e. g., they could have a year to carry out job analysis and then discuss career opportunities with the relevant staff. (Dodds, 1995) This means that people with Disabilities also be given the same chance, and they will grow with the organization. Similarly, an organization should be flexible enough for the case that one of their employees with disabilities. you should back mechanisms, the employees can come to their positions. This means that companies should be prepared for such cases and should not change their treatment of such employees. If a particular company has no training, education or other work in connection with development, it should their duty to give this to be for all employees within the company. No one, including a person with a disability, should have a fair chance to improve their work performance skills are denied during her time with a particular society. At the beginning of these companies should ensure that they should be fine for people with disabilities all the work necessary experience, grow within the industry. This means that companies should avoid fires such individuals without reasonable explanation. In regard to this argument, the employer to ensure that their pension packages, time frame and procedures are administered fairly to all employees regardless of their disabilities. This means that no employer should get rid of unfair one member of staff or forcibly withdraw physically disabled workers. (Noon, and p> Company must aware of the fact that extensive diversity in the workplace should be limited with disabilities. Your responses should be addressed to people with disabilities in the community as a whole. This means that adequate facilities and answers to suppliers, not only for employees offer, shareholders and customers with disabilities. This can be done within the respective organizations in several ways (Kandola, 1995). First, they could avoid doing business with shareholders or suppliers who have no respect for diversity management and those that prevent discrimination against people to expand with disabilities. Thus, the employer shall be made for people with disabilities, and may encourage other companies to follow suit. Second, the employer diversity management in relation to the type of infrastructure and services, show them to offer clients. ( Thewlis et al, 2004). If the company has to sell products, they could offer help filling shopping for people with disabilities. In addition to consumers with disabilities, who can buy independent, it would help to avoid that important elements in the second or third floor, but as in the first floor. This should go a long way in supporting these people in wheelchairs. Finally, could the employer is their concern for diversity, by donations to organizations or individuals with disabilities to improve their to facilitate even show while they continue with their lives outside the company. Gummerson, E. (1991), organizations, the opinions of the disabled person to look within their organization in the preparation of an agenda for employment within the company. They should not be considered as recipients of the policies and procedures, but should be considered within the arrangement as a legitimate interest groups. (Iles, 1995) This means that companies should meet regularly with people with disabilities make to find out what their needs are and what you can do the relevant companies, to support them. This will transform a disabled worker role from a reactive, proactive one. The first approach was at times present in the management of equality and diversity, a single Reserve of the personnel department were. At that time the company had numerous complaints and legal proceedings in relation to employing people with disabilities. However, the latter approach, in accordance with the current perceptions of diversity, because it organizations, an opportunity to avoid potential problems and deal with them say can detect early enough. Kandola and Fullerton (1998) that it is possible to train certain persons become the champion of diversity. person with abilities are a very suitable choice to take on these tasks. As an organization moves such individuals, they can as the organization of choice within the workplace One of the most important process in relation to people with policies and procedures on equality and diversity, diversity management, the monitoring of performance. organizations should ensure that rise that these benchmarks are met at all times. audits can be carried out each year to some of the goals, write down in the diversity of persons with disabilities goals.

case studies of companies that diversity management >.

Kandola and Fullerton (1998) argue that issues of diversity does not need as not applicable, since there are many companies the implementation of this and gone a long way in promoting diversity are to be seen in their environment. Some of them are health institutions, IT companies, accounting firms and the like. All these companies have one thing in common, they have Managing Diversity and Equal Opportunities as part of their driving force in the environment at all times. In this book, the authors identify some common elements> of the companies that respect for diversity must be respected. The general aim of such an initiative is to ensure that all employees / potential employees with disabilities access opportunities within the company. In addition, the companies disclosure of such measures to ensure that they identify certain compaly. above As seen from the list may, diversity management involves performing an audit, the second aspect is the advice and the third is in terms of advice to all current employees in relation to people with disabilities. Sanglin-Grant, S. (2003) Case Studies Many companies in the European Union located and the United Kingdom have specifically cited the cause of equality and diversity management. Consequently other companies can use to follow the route may not be certain of these examples.? (Jewson & Mason, 1994) p decided> Health Institution in the UK embracing diversity in relation to people with disabilities by giving them equal opportunities. They did this by monitoring their attitude by the police. This company offered positions on a large number of people with disabilities. Of all the hundred and eight people within the company, a whooping cough had either a health or forty percent had a disability adjusted. The company has recently been very good because they are able to attract a highly skilled workforce were. After the success of the initiative , the company had decided to offer equal opportunities to other groups by the respondents to work with sound options. (Cassell, 2006) also decided a communication company in the United Kingdom to search for specific employ people with disabilities in their organization. The company realized that so many people was not there and knocked it wanted this opportunity by embracing most of these workers. They told most of their old staff to advise people with disabilities to apply for the posts. Even in ads local newspapers accused placed, that the company sought to recruit persons with disabilities, the company testified that they were happy with the overall result s are recruiting individuals to lead al taken regularly visited and were highly motivated (Paddison, 990) < ; / p> Conclusion The country has the issue of diversity within the business assumed expect, consumers, shareholders, suppliers and investors, all businesses on equality manage and diversity. (Lane and Piercy, 2003). Even legislation designed to help people has been sent to protect the disabled against discrimination. Consequently oblige employers who fail may be in trouble the country. Employers should not imagine that equality and Diversity management will benefit the people alone, it is equally benefit to be able to the business. Managing Diversity theories are carried out through training, guidelines and procedures and infrastructure changes. All employees within the organization in many ways need to be aware of diversity management. Consequently policy need, ideas and theories are made transparent for all individuals.
