Employment And Educational Services

Employees with disabilities tend to stay in their roles longer, with retention rates about 72% higher, which helps to reduce turnover and training costs. Research also shows they generally have lower absenteeism compared to the broader workforce. In addition, recent surveys indicate that 90% of workers with disabilities receive “good” or “excellent” performance ratings from their managers.

Beyond these benefits, hiring people with disabilities can strengthen workplace diversity and foster a more inclusive culture, often improving team morale and collaboration. It can also positively shape a company’s public image, as more customers prioritize ethically responsible employers, while expanding access to a wider range of talent and perspectives that contribute to innovation and better decision-making.
