Comment on your experience and the value added to your business by hiring employees with disabilities.
A diverse and inclusive workplace comes with numerous benefits. Productivity can increase as different experiences and backgrounds inject energy and creativity into our workplace. A healthy culture at work improves the quality of life for everyone, and the more people care, the better the product. Improved morale increases our team member loyalty and raises the retention rate of our workforce. Finally, a diverse and healthy workplace culture will attract other potential candidates to our organization as we want to be identified as an employer of choice.
What would you say to an employer who has never hired people with disabilities?
What are you waiting for? Employers are missing out on a golden opportunity to hire well-trained, qualified people who also bring to the job unsurpassed loyalty, dedication, and commitment. Aside from having equal or higher performance ratings compared to workers without disabilities, workers with disabilities have the lowest attrition rates of any employee group. They get the job done, and they stay on the job. There are also many agencies that will work with employers when it comes to training, coaching, and supporting businesses hiring people with disabilities.
What does an inclusive workplace look like for you?
An inclusive workplace, for us, is no different than any workplace! It is a workplace where everyone can succeed in achieving their personal and professional goals. It enables us to embrace the uniqueness of backgrounds and perspectives of our team members. It allows us to leverage an individual’s talents to create winning business solutions.
