Create a welcoming first week that works for everyone, including employees with disabilities. This page brings together practical tools, checklists, and step by step guidance to help you remove barriers, set clear expectations, and build confidence from day one. It is designed for direct line managers, HR and DEI professionals, and anyone responsible for onboarding, it focuses on actions you can take before the start date, on the first day, and through the first months on the job, it links to ready to use resources that make implementation simple.
Grounded in our Disability Confidence approach, the materials emphasize an easy to apply framework, welcome, equip, inspire, so teams can plan accessible orientation activities, provide information in multiple formats, and check in with new hires in ways that support different communication and learning needs. You will also find guidance for both in person and remote onboarding, including accessible digital practices for meetings, documents, and collaboration tools, templates you can adapt for your organization, and a manager friendly checklist you can use to track progress and follow through after orientation.
Employers who are partnered with Untapped Talent get access to a package of exclusive resources to conduct an accessibility audit of their onboarding process. You can also contact us to have a member of our team facilitate this for you.
