Speaker:Deanna Johnson, Region 10 Community Support Services

Employing People with Disabilities

Take a new look at the able worker with a disability. You might be surprised by what you see. Today more than ever, businesses need people with a demonstrated ability to adapt to different situations and circumstances. Perhaps more than any other group, people with disabilities possess precisely these attributes. On a daily basis, people with disabilities must think creatively about how to solve problems and accomplish tasks in the work place. This resourcefulness translates into innovative thinking, fresh ideas and varied approaches to confronting business challenges and achieving success.

Hiring individuals with disabilities makes good business sense. In order to remain competitive, employers are looking beyond the traditional labor source to access skilled, qualified candidates; enhance their stance on affirmative action and workforce diversity; and to benefit from significant tax incentives. Why? Because the most untapped, diversified, and highly marketable employee in New Hampshire is the qualified professional with a disability.
