What if there was an untapped pool of talent that could not only enhance your workforce but also positively impact your business’s bottom line results?
Our world is changing, and businesses need to learn to change with it or they will be left behind. Corporations and businesses are taking a step into the future and intentionally including people with disabilities in their workforce. They are focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion to accelerate their results, and by hiring people with disabilities, they are further accelerating this process as disability intersects all other demographics.
Only 35% of people with significant disabilities are in the workforce today, and for these people, their options for employment are often limited. However, these individuals are the keys to your success. They are skilled, determined, ambitious, and unique, offering your business everything that it needs to thrive.
Drawing on extensive research and real-world examples, The Disability Dividend demonstrates how disability inclusion enhances talent acquisition, sparks innovation, boosts reputation and retention, and expands market share by mirroring a diverse customer base. Kirk Adams, an accomplished leader in the disability inclusion space with a significant disability, dispels unfounded concerns through persuasive data showing improvements in productivity, safety, absenteeism, and morale when people with disabilities are welcomed into the workforce.
With authenticity and eloquence, Kirk shares his own experiences navigating blindness to overcome barriers and reach professional success. He spotlights other disabled leaders thriving in law, government, science, and the arts as role models exhibiting humanity’s shared dreams and potential.
The Disability Dividend makes the irrefutable case for disability as a vital dimension of diversity and inclusion. Incisive and inspiring, it provides a roadmap for you and your business to tap into the immense talents of people with disabilities, to crush your competition, and to lead the way into a new future of employment strategies!
