The Advantages of Hiring Disabled Workers

Ways That the Disabled Can Actually Improve Your Work Environment

• The disabled are often extremely loyal and very hard-working. Since the disabled are often physically unable to compete for the highest paying jobs available to the lucky ones who’ve suffered few health crises, they are often very eager to work to just simply survive. They’re not working to finance vacations and other pleasures – they’re just trying to pay for special medical treatments not covered by insurance – or to just keep a roof over their head in at least a fairly safe part of town;
• They help biased employers avoid charges of overt discrimination. It’s against the law to avoid hiring the disabled solely because you don’t understand their unique needs. Although most disabled people never sue anyone, it’s a good idea to at least hire some of them since the government often investigates companies that rarely hire any of these individuals;
• It’s almost always a “PR plus” to hire the disabled. Many of us are often impressed when we walk into a Target or Home Depot store that hires many workers suffering from various disabilities. Customers often interpret such employment practices to mean that a company that treats the disadvantaged fairly is much more likely to offer fair prices to everyone;
• Certain tax breaks and advantages are available to companies that hire the disabled. While this should hopefully not be a company’s only incentive for hiring the disabled, it’s certainly legitimate if it helps motivate businesses to “do the right thing.
