"The South African Human Rights Commission recognises that people with disabilities can make up a significant portion of South Africa’s productive workforce – if barriers preventing them from actively participating in employment are identified and removed. The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has worked with a small team of dedicated employers and research specialists to develop this quick reference resource guide, Disability toolkit : a quick reference guide & monitoring framework for employers, to assist employers to harness the potential of their diverse workforces and to equip employers with the knowledge and tools to make South Africa’s workplaces more accessible, more inclusive and more productive for people with disabilities.

This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the revised Toolkit, Promoting the Right to Work of Persons with Disabilities: A Toolkit for South African Employers as well as the relevant pieces of legislation, namely the Employment Equity Act and the Technical Assistance Guidelines on the Employment of People with Disabilities."
