Employers
Employers want to create the working conditions that ensure staff productivity and empowerment to make efficient use of time and resources. Employees with dyslexia usually excellent workers, they have well practiced problem solving skills, often a very strong work ethic and always bring a great many talents to the workplace. Sometimes, however employers can unintentionally create environments that, not only prevent the employees with dyslexia from reaching their full potential, but also create barriers to their effective use of time and resources.
Danger areas can be:
- Communication Systems
- Procedures
- Equipment
Employer Responsibility
The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) puts a duty on employers to make reasonable adjustments so that workers with dyslexia are not treated less favorably for reasons related to their disability. To comply with this legislation it is vital that employers understand the common strengths and weaknesses associated with being dyslexic in a working environment. It is important to challenge stereotypes of dyslexia and recognize the opportunities for the employees with dyslexia to utilize their skills (click for link to list famous successful dyslexics). Even slight adjustments can hugely empower an employee with dyslexia however a lack of adjustment can lead to a situation where work demands are beyond worker’s resources and a downward spiral is set in motion. Again there can be simple solutions that ensure compliance with disability legislation and ‘Duty of Care’. Dynamic Dyslexia can help you identify situations where employees could be being treated less favorably and be able to clarify the most effective response.
