Procedures and ways of working in organisations are often set up without any thought for employees who stammer. In the UK, the Equality Act and the Disability Discrimination Act (NI) put a legal obligation on organisations to make sure they are not excluding or making working like difficult for staff who stammer.
Whether you stammer yourself or work with someone who stammers, this session is full of tips and ideas. The aim is to show how workplaces can easily adapt their ways of working to ensure that employees who stammer feel welcome, can thrive and can get on with their jobs. These adaptations are called “reasonable adjustments”.
In STAMMA’s Employment and Training Service, we’re often asked for ideas for reasonable adjustments related to stammering. So if you have concerns or questions about stammering in the workplace, this 60-minute session is for you!
There’ll be tips and resources on everything from interview procedures, to using the phone, intercoms or radios at work, to presentations, to meetings, to interactions with customers and colleagues, and much more.
