Employee engagement
Leonard Cheshire and Kallidus partnered up to produce three microlearning modules on “Disability at work” to help colleagues at all levels understand disability and work in inclusive ways with disabled colleagues.
Leonard Cheshire is a charity that supports individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose, regardless of their ability. Led by people with experience of disability, they are at the heart of local life – opening doors to opportunity, choice and support.
Kallidus and Leonard Cheshire wanted to reach customers of Kallidus with learning disability in the workplace. Kallidus did not have a disability offering in its existing eLearning library. Leonard Cheshire wanted to secure a partnership with a learning and development supplier, to reach and encourage other organisations to be Disability Confident and access disability know-how.
Kallidus and Leonard Cheshire partnered to develop modules on disability in the workplace for Kallidus customers. Leonard Cheshire provided the initial eLearning content and then acted as subject matter expert throughout the design of the eLearning.
Leonard Cheshire worked with Kallidus’ learning design team through conception, content development and review. The support included guidance on understanding disability, definitions, messaging, language, portraying disability, workplace practices and the Disability Confident scheme. Reviews were completed of the content outline, storyboard and final eLearning course.
Kallidus are delighted to offer three microlearning modules on “Disability at work” which are now part of their library. The eLearning will help colleagues at all levels understand disability and work in inclusive ways with disabled colleagues. Kallidus and Leonard Cheshire will continue to work together to track the reach of their learning over the coming months and years.
“We were delighted when Leonard Cheshire suggested working together on a suite of disability awareness eLearning, as this topic was something our customers were asking for. It was immensely valuable to have Leonard Cheshire’s knowledge and expertise to shape the courses and bring a vibrant sense of lived experience into the learning. Our customers are really excited about the suite, and I’m very proud to think that this collaboration is helping organizations across the UK understand disabled workers better.” – Jackie Finlay, Head of OTS Learning
