This month on Beyond Sight, host Qualik Ford is joined by Heather Harris, HR Manager, and Kariza Herbert, Talent and Culture Manager, for a conversation on what it takes to hire blind and low-vision employees well. They dig into the gap between compliance-driven accommodation and genuinely inclusive hiring practices. From job postings and interview processes to onboarding and retention, Heather and Kariza bring the HR perspective on what employers still misunderstand about blindness in the workplace.
