Practical considerations and legal insights for disabled employees

Following the success of last year’s in-person session at Westgate Hall, Canterbury, Whitehead Monckton and Eclipse HR are proud to present this latest webinar: “Creating Inclusive Workplaces for Disabled Employees: Moving Beyond Compliance” where we are delighted to be joined by Andrew Parker, Head of People & Culture at LifeSearch, a leading insurance broker, which has been protecting individuals and businesses for 28 years.

Creating a truly inclusive workplace for disabled employees requires more than meeting legal obligations, it demands thoughtful leadership, confident people management, and a culture where individuals feel valued, supported and able to thrive.

Webinar overview

In this practical and insight led webinar, we explore how organisations can move beyond compliance to meaningful disability inclusion, balancing employment law responsibilities, effective HR practice, and real world cultural leadership.

Drawing on lived experience from Lifesearch, Andrew shares how inclusion is embedded across the organisation from recruitment and flexible working, to everyday management practices and leadership behaviours. View the webinar to hear honest reflections on what works well in practice, what hasn’t, and the lessons learned along the way.

The session covers:

  • Inclusive recruitment strategies that welcome a wide range of candidates
  • Flexible working approaches and reasonable adjustments in practice
  • Building a culture where disabled colleagues feel included, valued and supported
  • Equipping managers to have confident, compassionate adjustment conversations
  • Handling sensitive or challenging situations while maintaining trust

Designed for HR professionals, business leaders, line managers and employment law practitioners, this webinar will provide practical takeaways, real examples and thoughtful discussion to support organisations in creating workplaces where disabled employees can genuinely thrive.

The session is delivered by:

  • Veronica Fox, Senior HR Consultant, Eclipse HR
