We have been talking to a lot of prospects and clients who want their workplace to be a reflection of the world around them. They want to create a welcoming environment for those who are often excluded or overlooked. We have a huge untapped pool of talented, educated adults who have been traditionally sidelined because of a physical disability such as vision and hearing loss, and limitations in mobility. There are also very capable, highly technical workers with learning disabilities such as Asperger’s syndrome or high-functioning Autism. Over 43 million of these adults with disabilities remain outside of the workforce. This is a valuable resource that forward-thinking progressive employers have taken an active interest in to tap and leverage by having them included in the workforce.
