Make Your AI Hiring Tools Inclusive and Accessible

Make your artificial intelligence-powered hiring technology more inclusive for disabled job seekers.

If your business uses or plans to use artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled hiring tools, we have a new resource for you: the AI & Inclusive Hiring Framework. Just released by our Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) initiative, the framework helps employers use AI tools more inclusively and reduce risks of unintentional forms of discrimination when hiring workers with disabilities. We know that while AI can potentially improve opportunities for workers, these same technologies—depending on how they are designed and deployed—can also introduce bias and accessibility concerns for disabled job seekers. So PEAT collaborated with a core team of experts, conducted listening sessions and used feedback from a national online public dialogue to build the new framework and help employers break down barriers and maximize disability inclusion.

Suicide Prevention Awareness Month Resources from JAN

“September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month #SuicidePreventionMonth #SPM24” and an image of a blue suicide prevention awareness ribbon.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, an appropriate time for employers to evaluate their workplaces and management practices to help with suicide prevention in the workplace. The more employers understand about mental health conditions and the complex interplay between work and suicide risk, the better they may provide needed support for employees to remain healthy and successful on the job. Read the latest newsletter from ODEP’s Job Accommodation Network (JAN) for more information.
