One of my favorites of the inclusion and diversity topic area web sites is Diversity World. The site is devoted to issues that concern both workers and employers who are disabled and non-disabled. Diversity World is “dedicated to Enriching Workplaces and Reducing Employment Barriers."
They also publish one of the best newsletters on the subject available. I’ve been a subscriber for years. The site provides information and resources that are timely, relevant and interesting.
The site is helmed by Rob McInns, who, as a human services professional, has focused broadly on issues of workforce diversity and more specifically on issues of employment and disability. Rob’s work has been marked by passion and leadership in the quest for greater workforce inclusion for people with disabilities. He has formerly served as the CEO of two direct service organizations for people with disabilities, as Executive Director of the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, as the Coordinator for California Business Leadership Network, and as a Diversity Consultant with IBM.
I particularly appreciate the "Diversity Shop," a place to go to obtain teaching aids, videos and publications suitable for almost any workplace context, communication or conflict resolution training.

The newsletter is intelligently written, featuring articles and commentary by thought leaders as well as readers who elevate the dialogue pertaining to awareness, access and inclusion. If you search the archives, you may even find one or two of my own contributions. The newsletter is cleverly called Inclusion Rx, and it’s a perfect prescription for all of your workplace diversity ailments!
