Companies that look beyond traditional labor sources recruit from alternative sources of available job candidates, such as people with disabilities.
A study by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services revealed companies that employ individuals with disabilities gain several advantages over other businesses, including:
- Skilled employees. Employees with disabilities learn to persevere and develop problem-solving, planning and people skills as part of managing a disability
- Solid performances. Statistically, employees with disabilities have better retention rates
- Cost savings. Workers with disabilities are consistently rated as average or above in performance, quality and quantity of work, flexibility and attendance
