Personnel Management
This
site provides information to help Americans, with
and without disabilities, better understand how to
hire and retain persons with disabilities. The
Office’s target audiences are applicants and
employees with disabilities, Federal managers and
supervisors, and human resources professionals.
The site can help users: improve personal
opportunities to transition from a status of
unemployment or under-employment to one of
successful employment and retention; learn about
gaining access to reasonable accommodation in the
Federal work place when appropriate; learn how to
transition in career growth and placement to
improve opportunities for retention; understand
disability hiring and retention programs, address
under-representation, enhance awareness, better
integrate people with disabilities in the
workplace, and provide for reasonable
accommodation as necessary; consult with Federal
employees and applicants, promote equal employment
opportunity, and provide practical solutions to
work-related issues within the merit system and
other legal framework. The site provides
access to information that is relevant to the
recruitment, employment, and retention of
individuals with disabilities in the Federal
Government. This information includes Federal and
state laws as well as other governmental and
non-governmental sites. Of special interest is a
list of funding sources for accommodation costs.
