A new effort to recognize some of the best employers of people with disabilities from across Minnesota resulted in winners across multiple industries, from family owned companies to major corporations, nonprofits and a small city.
The Outstanding Disability Employers, a dozen in all, were chosen from nominations written by members of the Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation (MOHR), which have partnered with the employers to provide support as needed.
“It goes to show that the people we serve are working across multiple fields, and in a variety of jobs, and more employers are starting to recognize what people with disabilities have to offer them,” said Mike Burke, president of the Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation.
