Workplace Solutions (October, 2009)
October is a month filled with national and local observances. So rather than having an overarching theme this
month, we’ve taken our cues from today’s headlines. Our article on the value of volunteerism is our homage to
Make a Difference Day. In Walking a Fine Line we offer suggestions for addressing the potential threat from the
H1N1 virus, furthering Health Literacy efforts. And the month’s emphasis on the employment of those with
disabilities is the focus of our article revisiting the dilemmas and opportunities when hiring and retaining this
valuable segment of the workforce. View newsletter
