HR myths

Cat Jones

A lighthearted one for you all...

We've been recruiting a lot recently and a colleague in sales stated, "If we get more people in, you'll have to get a disabled person soon". He was under the impression that companies of a certain size MUST hire people with a disability. After pointing out that was totally untrue, we also had a positive conversation about disability is more than using a wheelchair...

What comments have you heard relating to HR that are totally not true?

Fake news? Fiction? Fantasy?

  • I once had a manager insist that because we had made a reasonable adjustment to support an employee with a disability to remain in work that we had to make the same adjustment for all other employees (disability or not) otherwise we were discriminating against them all.

    Needless to say some training for said manager in how to support staff with disabilities and what constitutes discrimination followed.
