This will be an introduction to the Employment Opportunity Survey (EOS) protocol, which is an 18-question structured interview that rehabilitation professionals can use with employers to assess their openness to hiring persons with disabilities, and to begin developing effective relationships with employers designed to increase employment opportunities for our consumers.
EOS is very effective with employers in many different communities and industries. The ordering of the questions is deliberate, with disability related questions near the close of the interview. The first and last questions are intended to influence the positive outlook of the employer during the completion of the survey. The positive question at the very beginning and at the very end allow the rehabilitation professional to create an early and lasting good feeling with the employer about the development of a useful and fruitful relationship with the rehabilitation agency.
The presenters will describe the instrument protocol, walk you through each of the questions and explain how the answers to the questions provide insight into the openness of the employer to hire people with disabilities. Extensive examples from the presenters' use of the protocol with employers will also be provided.
