Finding skilled, enthusiastic and loyal workers is a challenge is today's employment climate. Many leading employers have begun to think outside-the-square in terms of their recruitment strategies and have found success employing people from groups traditionally under-represented in the workforce.
These companies are employing workers with a disability because it makes good business sense:
- People with a disability can have fewer accidents at work - the workers compensation costs for people with a disability can be as low as 4% of the workers compensation costs of other employees.
- Workers with a disability can have lower absenteeism and often take less sick leave than other employees.
- The costs of hiring people with a disability can be significantly lower - as low as 13% of the costs of other employees when using a Disability Employment Service thanks to lower advertising costs and reduced time spent on short listing and interviewing candidates.
- Workers with a disability tend to stay in their jobs for longer.
- Employing people with a disability can build staff morale, raise management awareness of workplace practices and conditions and increase customer and staff loyalty.
