Please help me in questions in human resource management?

Question

Please...iam weak in human resource management and i have 2 questions which i have to solve for tomorrow so anybody good in human resource management answer plz, first...microsoft has characterized its assistive technologies as ''enabling the workplace'' rather than the employee...do u think most companies see the workplace as the problem instead of the disability? why or why not?, second...think of some assistive technologies that could help people with disabilities perform jobs...prepare a list of technologies and the jobs they could be used for

Answer 1

most people see the individual as more of a problem than the workplace. some disabilities can be accommodated quite easily, and that is how the law has been written "reasonable accommodation" not jump through hoops for everybody

Answer 2

Wikipedia on "assistive technologies" gives many examples.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_technology

Assistive technologies empower the disabled person by enabling the workplace. A strong case can be made that reasonable additions of assistive technology help the company by allowing disabled persons to bring their skills into play.

Probably companies initially see the disability as a problem because it forces initial outlays that don't bring immediate return. They change their views only when they begin to reap the profits of the work enabled by assistive technology.

If this or any other answer to your question helps you resolve this issue, please select a "best answer." This motivates people to help you and rewards their research in your behalf.
