Hiring People with Differing Abilities Is Not Altruism, It is Good Business.
The United States faces a labor crisis and part of the solution will come from hiring people with disabilities. While we could argue that hiring people with disabilities is the right thing to do, we posit a simple idea: hiring people with differing abilities is not altruism, it is good business. We make the business case how hiring people with differing abilities not only fills open jobs, but improves morale, productivity and retention and helps recruit other workers. Those businesses that hire people with differing abilities earn a competitive advantage. We urge employers, “Don’t be blinded by a person’s limitations, be awed by their possibilities.”
