The United States Department of Labor, office of Disability Employment Policy has released a new brochure titled, Employer Perspectives on Employment of Employees with Disabilities.
The brochure, which is available in Word or PDF format at http://www.dol.gov/odep, features a survey of 3,797 businesses representing 2.4 million companies across 12 industry section and various company sizes.
The brochure reports on the companies beliefs about and strategies for recruiting, hiring, retaining, and advancing employees with disabilities.
It addresses employer concerns such as:
Can an employee with a disability get the job done?
How will supervisors manage employees with disabilities?
Are accommodations expensive?
Will my organization’s worker’s compensation and health care costs increase?
It also offers ways to recruit talented workers with disabilities and provides services and information.
I printed it off in word format and it was only 4 pages. It’s worth taking the time to review.
