Small changes in the workplace can make all the difference to disabled employees, says leading assistive technology specialist iansyst Ltd. At the 2010 Health and Wellbeing Conference iansyst will be showcasing its latest technology and software and will be offering expert advice on workplace disability provision.

Further to the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act, it is more crucial than ever for employers to provide the appropriate support. iansyst will highlight adjustments that can be made to facilitate full participation in the workplace for disabled employees. It is often assumed that such changes will be expensive and impractical; iansyst will identify a variety of measures which can be easily implemented and will have a positive impact on the workplace experience for disabled employees. Simple things like ensuring easy access to information, the provision of assistive handheld technologies and implementing inclusive HR policies can make all the difference.

iansyst will be sharing best practice and ideas for practical training to enable HR managers to meet these expectations. There will be a showcase of various assistive technologies on the stand; these include Audio Notetaker and CapturaTalk mobile phone software. Audio Notetaker enables users to annotate and organise digital recordings; whilst CapturaTalk converts text-to-speech from a digital photo. iansyst takes a full-service approach to technology provision: it will suggest a solution, provide training and offer continued support from its team of service experts.

Janine King, Managing Director at iansyst Ltd commented: “A happy workforce is a loyal workforce. By making changes to support disabled employees, employers are able to encourage a culture of productivity and are likely to retain staff for longer periods of time. iansyst experts are available to discuss what employers can do to support those with disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia or visual impairment. Our team will be on stand at the show ready to offer their guidance and support.”
