What is one disability topic or trend you think employers should be thinking about to make their companies more inclusive and accessible to disabled candidates and employees?
Working for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned staffing firm, we are always searching for qualified employees for positions throughout the U.S. It is important to ensure candidates with disabilities can ask for assistive technologies and other accommodations early in the onboarding process.
I encourage companies to take the time to investigate assistive technologies to enhance their inclusivity for disabled employees and candidates. Investing in these technologies will support employees with disabilities in performing their responsibilities more efficiently. Examples of such technology include, but are not limited to, screen readers, voice recognition software, and ergonomic workstations.
How does integrating disability strengthen the workforce and economy overall?
By committing to being a strong, diverse, and inclusive company, numerous benefits are presented to the workforce and the economy overall. Including employees with disabilities as part of diversity programs can create a more creative and innovative work environment. Businesses that lead in inclusive programs enhance their reputation, which attracts customers and top talent.
