In addition to the above outreach partners, our talent advisors and hiring managers maintain an active presence at networking/recruitment events across North America. Through the new Innovative Employment Pathway (IEP) program, we aim to increase employment opportunities for the often overlooked and underserved. This program launched in mid-2019, with plans to expand over the coming years.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), state and local laws, and Canadian federal and provincial laws, Waste Management makes accommodations for individuals with a disability. Employees and applicants of Waste Management who are covered under these laws are eligible for workplace accommodations, up to the point of undue hardship. To help our employees gain a better understanding of the ADA, the ADA Amendment Act and the process associated with it, we distribute frequently asked questions to frontline managers. We also provide training to managers, focused on accommodation responsibilities.
