AODA Training
Training of all of your employees with regard to interacting with persons with disabilities, as both co-workers and customers, is a key component of the AODA. Just as we believe all people are unique and important, we also recognize that all organizations are diverse and have specific needs.
Global Learning is the best source to customize your training solutions, especially via our Diversity Moments™, 35 minute eLearning Course, and Classroom Training Sessions and Workshops.
Diversity Moments™ is a unique and innovative approach to "just in time" organizational learning. This creative and comprehensive series of on-line learning "vignettes" is designed to introduce the user to situational aspects of diversity and inclusion content. Concise and thought provoking, these scenarios provide the learner with context, decision points, and a take-away in 3 to 5 minutes of interactive web-based training. Ask us about our AODA specific modules.
Global Learning also offers a 35 minute eLearning course designed to meet the requirements of AODA. Building on the success of Global Learning's customizable eLearning courses, we have developed an AODA-specific course encompassing content necessary to build awareness around concepts in the first Standard in AODA - the Customer Service Standard.
Global Learning recognizes that each company and organization is unique in the way that it operates. As such, this course is customizable to allow Global Learning to insert your policy pertaining to Serving Customers with Disabilities, add your logo, and include other reference materials and any other elements you feel important to brand your learning.
Course modules include:
- Introduction to AODA
- Definition and Standards
- Benefits of this important legislation
- Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps including:
- Visible Disabilities
- Invisible Disabilities
- Subtle Differences
- Making a difference: How to Work with and Serve Customers/Clients with a Disability
- Four Principles of Respect
- Accessibility/Barriers
- Assistive Devices and Service Animals
- AODA Compliance: Tips and Tools
The AODA course is mandatory for all employees within your organization who interact in any capacity with your customers or clients. The term "customers or clients" refers to any person or company that accesses or receives your organization's services or products and does not apply to just those organizations who sell to or service the end user. It must be noted that training is required for any person who provides service to a client or customer in Ontario. This includes any out-of-province or offshore call centres, as an example. Any employee who develops, edits, or has any part of interacting with or creating your policies, practices, and procedures (e.g. HR staff/Senior management) must also be trained.
In order to meet the requirements for compliance purposes, employees will be presented with a post test after course completion and will receive a Certificate of Completion once they have attained a pass grade which can be customized to your corporate standards.
Global Learning provides a number of Classroom Training Sessions and Workshops focused on AODA. Face-to-face, we engage your employees by providing practical, easy-to-apply information, as well as by inviting some of the most thought-provoking experts to speak at our sessions. It's our straight-forward communication style and take-away solutions that keep our clients coming back.
