Session Title: Disability Inclusion That Works: Practical Strategies for Today’s HR Teams
Presenter(s): Karen Williams
Session Description:
Join us for a practical session on disability inclusion in the workplace—focused on the supports available to HR teams and what actually makes inclusion successful. We’ll cover straightforward strategies that reduce risk, ease HR workload, strengthen team culture, and create meaningful opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to contribute to your organization. You’ll see how agencies like Trillium partner with employers to streamline recruiting and onboarding, provide ongoing support, and step in when challenges arise. Expect clear, usable takeaways—and maybe one or two long-standing myths quietly retired.
Presenter(s) Description: Karen is the Executive Director of Trillium Employment Services, a Washington nonprofit that has supported inclusive hiring for more than 40 years. Trillium partners with over 450 employers across five counties (including Kitsap), strengthening workplaces by creating opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to contribute their skills to the company’s success. Karen champions value-add staffing solutions—not charity hires—and helps employers build teams where every person has the support they need to contribute and thrive.
