Accessible Customer Service and Accessibility Policy

Accessible Formats and Communication Support for Employees

Idylwylde Golf and Country Club is committed to keeping employees informed about our disability policies and any updates to them.

 

If an employee with a disability requests it, we will ensure the provision of accessible formats and communication supports for:

  • Information necessary for their job performance.

  • Information accessible to all employees in the workplace.

 

We will work closely with the requesting employee to determine the most suitable method for delivering the required accessible format or communication support.

Workplace Emergency Response Information

When necessary, Idylwylde Golf and Country Club will develop personalized workplace emergency response plans for employees with disabilities. These plans will consider the specific challenges posed by the individual's disability and the physical layout of the workplace. They will be developed in collaboration with the employee.

These plans will be reassessed under the following circumstances:

  • When the employee relocates to a different area within the organization.

  • When there is a review of the employee's overall accommodation requirements or arrangements.

  • When Idylwylde Golf and Country Club revises its general emergency response protocols.

Process to Accommodate Employees

Idylwylde Golf and Country Club remains committed to incorporating accessibility considerations into internal procedures concerning return-to-work practices, performance management, career development, and employee job transitions.

 

This commitment entails:

  • Conducting reviews of our processes to pinpoint any potential accessibility barriers.

  • Engaging in consultations with employees who have disclosed disabilities requiring accommodation.
