(Fusion) has prepared an Integrated Accessibility Standards Policy and Multi-Year Plan (“Policy”) in accordance with its obligations pursuant to Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (“AODA”), Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulations (“IASR”) (O. Reg. 191/11 s. 4(1)(2)). The Ontario government endeavours to make the Province of Ontario fully accessible by 2025.

This Policy contains the applicable deliverables and initiatives that will be incorporated across Fusion in the coming years. Fusion will review this Policy every five (5) years as required. Any revisions and updates to this Policy will be posted on the Fusion website; at the Fusion headquarters in London, Ontario; and, within Fusion's Human Resources Information System (“HRIS”).

Fusion is committed to cultivating an environment of mutual respect whereby all people are to be treated with courtesy, dignity, and respect. Fusion endorses the AODA and applicable statutes and is committed to compliance with its principles.

Fusion Policy will be reviewed and updated at least once every five (5) years, and as required.

Customer Services Accessibility Standard

Fusion is committing to providing its services in a manner that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities may use assistive devices and/or support persons in the access of services and when entering Fusion premises. Fusion employees will communicate with customers and third parties in a manner that accommodates the person’s disability and needs. As discussed below under the heading “Training Program”, Fusion will ensure that all employees receive customer service training within ninety (90) days of commencing employment.

Accessible Workplace Emergency Response Information

Fusion will continue to work directly with employees with disabilities in order to develop individualized workplace emergency response plans and procedures. Individualized emergency response plans will be reviewed should the employee’s accommodation requirements change or if the employee’s location at the office, or role, is revised. Fusion will continue to provide its employees with information regarding emergency procedures and will circulate any and all updates as applicable.

Training Program

Fusion will continue to provide training to all of its employees on Ontario’s accessibility laws and on the Human Rights Code as it pertains to persons with disabilities. Fusion requires that the training program be completed within ninety (90) calendar days of commencing employment. Customer service training will cover Ontario’s accessibility laws and Human Rights Code as it relates to persons with disabilities. Customer service training is conducted through an online webinar program followed by a brief test on the materials involved. Fusion will maintain a database of those participants in the training program to ensure all employees have successfully completed the online training course. Should regulations be revised, Fusion notify its employee, regarding such updates as soon as practicably possible.

Return to Work Policy

Fusion has a comprehensive process for assisting employees to return to work following an absence from the workplace as a result of a disability, illness, or injury including injuries developed both in and outside the course of employment. Human Resources will work with its benefits provider, while upholding the strictest standard of privacy and confidentiality, to ensure the employee is able to safety return to the workplace.

This process includes steps that Fusion will take in order to facilitate the return to work process in order to ensure the employee is able to transition back to the workplace. This process involves the development of an individualized accommodation plan and workplace emergency response plan, as described in this Policy.
