MyPlus announcement! We have changed the name of our employer membership forum from ‘MyPlus Recruiters’ Club’ to the ‘MyPlus Employers’ Club. The reason behind the name change is to closer align with who the Club is aimed at i.e. the whole organisation rather than just recruitment. Our membership benefits are aimed at not only helping employers be inclusive in recruitment, but also inclusive in the workplace when disabled individuals join the organisation and for those already in the organisation. The name change will take effect immediately and we are currently working towards updating all collateral, communications and websites.
