Employment
RFA is committed to fair and accessible employment practices.

We have included standard language in all job postings, whether published publicly or internally, to notify the public and staff that, when requested, RFA will accommodate people with disabilities during the recruitment and assessment processes and when people are hired.

RFA has established and put in place a process for developing individual accommodation plans and return-to-work policies for employees that have been absent due to a disability.

When undertaking any performance management, career development and redeployment processes, RFA will ensure that the accessibility needs of its employees with disabilities needs are taken into account. This will include a review of any individual accommodation plans that are in place for individual employees.

Where an employee, client or other person identifies any accessibility barriers, RFA will take steps to remove the barriers identified.
