Five questions for Helen Cooke, CEO and Founder of MyPlus

Published on the AGCAS Disability Task Group Blog

Our CEO and Founder Helen Cooke was recently interviewed by Edmund Lewis, AGCAS Disability Task Group, University of Westminster. The five questions were:

  1. What 3 tips would you give to an employer who is trying to attract more disabled applicants?

  2. If someone has a disability and wants to explore what adjustments they might need, how would you suggest they go about this?

  3. Some disability organisations don’t use the term ‘disclosure’ and instead favour other wording. Where do you stand on this?

  4. Some candidates worry that if they tell the employer they have a disability, the employer might think they’re not capable of doing the job. What advice would you give someone who feels like this?

  5. Do MyPlus have any upcoming webinars or training that you would recommend?
