The study further revealed a significant difference in the perception of the respondents on Human Resource Management (HRM) practices based on several demographic variables. While perceptions of "Establishing Policies that Prohibit Discrimination* varied significantly with respondents' age, no significant differences were detected across any Human Resource Management (HRM) practices area based on sex or years of service. Educational attainment significantly impacted perceptions of "Fair Recruitment & Selection Processes" and "Establishing Policies that Prohibit Discrimination," while job position only significantly influenced perceptions of "Fair Recruitment & Selection Processes". Similarty, type of disability significantly impacted perceptions of "Fair Recruitment & Selection Processes" and "Establishing Policies that Prohibit Discrimination". Based on the findings of the study, the overall perception of the equal employment opportunity practices is positive. Although, there are specific areas, such as accessibility in application and interview facilities and accessibility of training programs to ensure that workers can have equal access, that may require attention and improvement based on the respondents' feedback and answer. The respondents acknowledge the equal employment opportunity practices perceived as positive feedback with it. But still, there are specific statements that should be given focus in order to ensure people with disabilities can have equal employment opportunities.
