Advancing Disability Inclusion in Very Small Businesses Online Dialogue

The Department of Labor (DOL) is encouraging participants to share ideas for policies, resources, tools, and actions regarding the needs of very small businesses that employ or are planning to hire disabled workers or are owned by disabled entrepreneurs. Very small businesses include businesses with fewer than 50 employees. DOL wants to learn about these businesses’ successes in supporting workers with disabilities, the challenges they face, and the impact of current policies and regulations on their outcomes. Ideas discussed during this online dialogue will help inform DOL’s future policies, resources, technical assistance, and activities that will support small businesses and their disabled workers, as well as entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Please share your experiences and ideas on how best to support the success of small businesses and elevate efforts to enhance employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Click here to add your comments and votes to ideas submitted by others.
