Life just got much easier for line managers

20th November 2006

This month sees the launch of Employers' Forum on Disability (EFD)'s groundbreaking publication, the ‘Line manager guide - a best practice approach to working with disabled colleagues'.

Already proving to be one of EFD's most popular ever guides, it provides best-practice answers to everyday questions about disability, asked by line managers.

The ‘Line manager guide' makes it easier to:

• Deliver best practice on disability
• Be more comfortable working with disabled colleagues
• Learn how to get help for disabled team members
• Understand the law

Sponsored by Unum, the ‘Line manager guide' is written in plain English and is illustrated with original cartoons and case studies.

It is easy to use and will be essential reading for all line managers who want to get it right for disabled colleagues.
