(3) Individual accommodation plans shall,

(a) if requested, include any information regarding accessible formats and communications supports provided, as described in section 26;

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT, AND REDEPLOYMENT

Employers who:

conduct performance management,

provide career development and advancement to employees, or

engage in employee redeployment,

must take into account the accessibility needs of disabled employees, as well as individual accommodation plans.

I believe that this is necessary for some but a benefit for all.  Can you think of ways this may help you access information about employment?

Is there anything else that could be done to ensure that a compliance with this requirement?
