Disability Employment SA

A developing RiskAtlas product focused on practical disability-employment information, inclusive workplace capability and tools for South African employers.

Who it is being designed for

One subject, several practical pathways.

●Individuals

People with disability

Clear information about finding work, staying in work, workplace support and career progression.

◇Support network

Service providers

Structured information that helps connect people, employers and available support pathways.

⚕Work & health

Health professionals

Workplace-focused context for supporting patients and communicating functional needs appropriately.

Commercial direction

Build toward a practical Employer Toolkit.

The long-term product direction is a structured kit that organisations can buy or license, supported by a free source-aware reference layer.

Job design, advertisements, candidate assessment, interviews and recruitment-provider guidance.

Conversation guides, request processes, implementation tools, passports and review checklists.

Module 04

Planned practical resources

A useful front shelf before the full toolkit.

The enriched prototype suggests a Featured Resources layer so employers can reach the most practical materials quickly. These are planned resource types, not yet published South African guidance.

Workplace-adjustment conversation guide

A structured way for managers and employees to discuss, agree and review workplace adjustments.

Planned template

Reasonable-adjustment policy template

A configurable employer policy structure with responsibilities, request process, implementation and review.

Planned checklist

Employer accessibility checklist

Physical, digital and procedural accessibility prompts for workplace review.

Planned guide

Inclusive interviewing

Recruitment guidance focused on skills, accessible assessment and appropriate adjustment conversations.

Planned template

Disability Inclusion Action Plan

A practical structure for goals, responsibilities, actions, measures and review cycles.

Planned training

Manager and team awareness pack

Facilitator notes, communication guidance, exercises and implementation material for workplace learning.

Development standard

South African sources first.

The current prototype is being retained as a design and product-architecture reference. Statistics, legal statements, programmes, contact details and adapted resource descriptions will be source-audited before they are used as production guidance.

Australian JobAccess material may help identify useful resource formats and content gaps, but Disability Employment SA will require its own South African legal, policy, service and labour-market evidence base.

Status

Product definition and source audit underway.

No employer kit is currently being sold. Product scope, authoritative source mapping, commercial packaging, licensing and pricing are still to be developed.
