Employer Outreach Project

Hiring people of all abilities isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s smart business.

Tap Into A Truly Inclusive Workforce 

Employers face massive recruitment challenges. Huge retention problems. Sustained labour shortages. Here’s the real bottom line: Non-inclusive hiring compounds existing challenges and sells businesses short.   

With the right support, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in British Columbia can meaningfully contribute their skills and experiences to the long-term success of a business. Research and surveys continue to report that employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities boost workplace morale, show more employee loyalty, stay at jobs longer, and are just as productive as (and sometimes more productive than) their non-disabled colleagues.
