Small businesses with employees affected by disability or health conditions will receive extra assistance with the government announcing a £6.4 million investment to help employers support employees with disabilities and health conditions.
A percentage of the funds are being used to create an online service where employers can access information about supporting and managing employees with disabilities and health conditions.
The online service is free and is aimed at smaller organisations that do not have the benefit of an HR team. The project aims to encourage small businesses to increase the inclusiveness of their workforces.
An early test version of the Support with Employee Health and Disability service is currently active and will be updated and developed over the next three years. An online survey is open for businesses and disability groups to offer feedback that will be used to inform the development of the site.
You can read more about the government service here.
