What can EMPLOYERS do?
- In business, the investment that drives innovation is talent. The knowledge, skills and abilities employees bring to work each day are by far the assets that yield the most output over the long term. Whether good economic times or bad, it’s the organizations that know how to identify and recognize talent that are most likely to succeed.
- To access the widest pool of talent, employers must foster an inclusive and flexible work culture that considers the needs of all employees and potential employees, including those with disabilities. Such universal thinking not only helps recruit skilled employees, but also enhances corporate continuity efforts by helping employers retain the talents of an aging workforce. When it comes to doing business, being inclusive of people with disabilities—in recruitment, retention and advancement—can offer companies a competitive edge. People with disabilities are experienced problem solvers with a proven ability to adapt. What’s more, they mirror an important and increasingly expanding customer base.
