The disability awareness training was very informative and beneficial. It is reassuring to know that if someone has a disability, there is a lot of help and protection available for that person. As an employee, we are often only aware of what our managers tell us, and your presentation highlighted how important it is to be told correct information straight from the horse’s mouth!
