As part of continuing efforts to recognize diverse populations at West Virginia University, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action recently shared an updated profile on Doug Bachar, an accounting assistant in Payroll and Employee Processing Services.
Bachar was the first person to volunteer to be interviewed and featured in the “I Count” story series. However, since that time, he has transitioned from working in the office at One Waterfront Place to working remotely full-time.
In the updated profile, Bachar shares his experiences moving to remote work and describes some of the advantages his new work arrangement has afforded him. Visit the Talent and Culture website to read Bachar’s full story.
WVU takes accessibility seriously and is committed to accommodating people with disabilities in the workplace.
While there are certain areas within a few of the historic buildings that may not be completely accessible, every new addition or renovation assures accessibility to students, faculty and staff members. Consequently, it’s important to have updated information relative to the number of people with disabilities on campus. That knowledge plays a large role in enabling the administration to provide adequate programs and services.
If you are an individual with a disability, self-identification is key. It’s also confidential and easy:
- Go to www.portal.wvu.edu using Internet Explorer (other browsers may not allow you to save your changes).
- Log in using your WVU credentials.
- Select the “MyHR” tab on the left side of the screen.
- Select “Disability Status.”
- Enter your information and select “Submit.”
Visit the Talent and Culture website for more information. Details about accommodations can be found on the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion website.
