JANOVSKÁ, Klára
The goal of my bachelor thesis on a topic: ``Work conditions of people with mental disability living in institutional care{\crqq} was to map this situation in residence social care institutions for people with mental disability in South Bohemia region. The goal was achieved. Contemporary world trends in care for people with mental disability prefer to class employment opportunities into the area of educational occupation in social care institutions. The problem of employment is one of the most serious questions regarding people with mental disability. A fulfillment on a labor market influences several factors in their lives. It is not only the economic situation and social statute but also self-realization. There are several forms of occupational and social fulfillment for people who are disadvantaged on labor market. These are supported employment, protected jobs or protected workshops. For achievement of the goal of the thesis a method of qualitative research, technique of structured interview with open questions was used. First target group were employees of residence social care institutions for people with mental disability in South Bohemia region. Second target group were employees from organizations dealing with supported employment in South Bohemia region. From the results of the thesis is clear that the institutions and organizations are interested in occupational fulfillment of their clients. They are trying to create jobs. But the supply is still insufficient. In connection with this thesis we can set following research questions. 1. In what direction will be a progress in attitudes of our society about the problems of employing people with mental disability in the meaning of financial, legislative and social securing of the problems? 2. Whether the employment of people with mental disability will be a part of companies{\crq} strategy (within company philanthropy)?

Employing people with physical and multiple disability from the employer{\crq}s point of view
VALIČKOVÁ, Jana
Employing people with physical and multiple disability from the employer{\crq}s point of view I chose the subject of this thesis because I work for o.s. Asistence as a work counselor within the framework of a transit program and one of my duties is to help people with physical and multiple disability find a job as well as establish contact with employers. People with health disability are among social groups most threatened by unemployment. They make up about 13% of the level of unemployment which is increasing. There are surely many reasons for such a high level of unemployment among people with health and multiple disability. Among them we may rank insufficient coverage of services supporting this social group in the process of seeking work, next a low number of vacancies and finally the lack of experience of employers with employing people with a health disability. A number of people with physical and multiple disability would very much like to be employed in the regular labour market. There are also employers who would very much like to employ such a person, but they do not know how to find a new employ or who to contact as well as how does the whole process of employing disabled people work. One of the services dedicated to this social problem that seems quite promising is the supported employment. The aims of this thesis were various. Partly to describe the process of employing people with physical and multiple disabilities from the employer{\crq}s viewpoint. Then to describe in what way employers need to be supported when employing people with physical and multiple disabilities. The final aim was to describe the motivation of current employers to employ people with a health disability. The first part of this work deals with the characteristics of people with physical and multiple disability, with their rights, the relation of the society regarding the employment of these people and legal aspects applied to employing people with health disability. I also described the services that are provided to employers employing people with physical and multiple disabilities by agencies of supported employment. I also mentioned Corporate Social Responsibility and its usage in the social area. The research itself was carried out in collaboration with o.s. Asistence. The group on which the research was carried out was made up by five employers employing people with physical and multiple disability and by five counselors from o.s. Asistence. The data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. The interview itself focused on the motivation of the employers to employ people with health disability and the legislation pertinent to the discussed problem. The interview with the counselors regarded similar topics with regard as to how do they participate in the process themselves. This work may be a source of information for current or potential employers of people with physical or multiple disability. At the same time it may be of use to people providing services to this social group by helping them in finding a job.
