Why is there a cost when other Benchmarks are free?

With the support of members, Employers’ Forum on Disability has invested a great deal of time and resources in the development of the Disability Standard. This has enabled Employers’ Forum on Disability to offer the Disability Standard at such a reasonable cost. Unlike other benchmarks, the Disability Standard is more than just a benchmark survey. The following items are included in the Disability Standard package:

•    Access to the Disability Standard online assessment tool.
•    Access to a directory of best practice guidance.
•    A place at a pre-completion workshop.
•    A Diagnostic report on your organisation’s performance.
•    A tailored debrief session (as requested).
•    A place at the ‘Building disability confidence’ event.
•    A copy of the Disability Standard 2009 Benchmark Report.
•    Entry into the Disability Standard 2009 Awards.
•    A place at the Disability Standard 2009 Awards ceremony.
•    Telephone and email support from the Disability Standard team.
•    One year of membership for non-members only (and excluding organisations with less than 500 employees).

The Disability Standard is the quickest, most comprehensive and cost-effective way of auditing your organisation on disability.
