Overview: People with disabilities have the skills, abilities and experience to add value in a competitive workplace setting. In fact, the tangible returns to organizations that have broadly inclusive workplace cultures range from improved productivity, quality and morale to lower turnover and enhanced reputation as an employer of choice. A second business consideration is the sheer size of the population of people with disabilities.
