The Source has been welcomed by JobCentre Plus to use the Disability Symbol, recognising The Source's commitment to the employment and retention of disabled people.
The Disability Symbol recognises JobCentre Plus's five commitments to good employer practice below:
- Interviewing all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities
- Ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss, at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities
- Make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment
- Take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work
- Each year, review the five commitments and what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans
Pete Booth, Disability Employment Advisor and Disability Symbol Advisor at JobCentre Plus, said: "This is great recognition for The Source and the way they conduct their recruitment and employment practices. The Disability Symbol ensures organisations recognised with this symbol adhere to the five commitments to good employment practice and The Source is a great advocate for this."
Lorraine Walkler, Human Resources and Recruitment Consultant at The Source, said: "Supporting disabled people in employment is something The Source firmly believes in and to be recognised for the ways we conduct our employment practices is a true testament to the team's hard work. Thank you to JobCentre Plus for recognising our good practice."
