Capable Communities

Rethinking Your Workforce

Sometimes hiring the right people for the right positions is simply a matter of looking in the right places. Today, workforce challenges are both commonplace and costly. Fortunately, more and more businesses are experiencing firsthand the value of employing people with different capabilities and ways of thinking.

The Capable Communities initiative was created to:

  • Encourage employers to strongly consider hiring employees with developmental disabilities.
  • Raise awareness of the benefits of hiring within the developmental disability community.
  • Provide resources to bridge the gap between businesses and this underrepresented community.

The Bottom Line on Hiring Employees with Developmental Disabilities

Reduced Turnover

Individuals with disabilities often seek stable, long-term employment. This leads to higher retention rates across the board which, as a result, can significantly influence productivity and lower the resources devoted to replacing lost employees.

Access to an Untapped Talent Pool

People with disabilities represent a disproportionate segment of the unemployed or under-employed population. A willingness to hire people with disabilities offers instant access to a pool of candidates with diverse strengths, leadership styles and ways of thinking.

Enhanced Profit Margins

Research shows that businesses that actively seek to employ people with disabilities have 28 percent higher revenues, twice the net income and 30 percent higher profit margins than other businesses.

Increased Workplace Morale and Engagement

Workplaces that actively seek to engage individuals with disabilities tend to have profoundly enhanced overall work environments. When employees see their company’s efforts, it increases their sense of belonging and job satisfaction, factors that lead to higher levels of productivity.

Tax Benefits

Hiring employees with disabilities offers businesses additional financial benefits in the form of tax credits and incentives established to encourage the employment of persons with disabilities.

Take the Pledge to Hire for Ability

Is your business willing to take the next step in building a more inclusive workforce?  Contact Floyd Colkmire at (985) 543-4730 for more information on hiring within the developmental disability community, and find out how you can become a Capable Community Employer.
