Today's New Workforce: An Untapped Labor Force
"Business is booming! The stock market is up! Unemployment is down. The same forces that are driving our strong economy are also creating one of the greatest challenges faced by today's employers: low unemployment. You may be asking yourself, "where do I find qualified applicants?" Many employers are turning to the large and untapped labor pool of employess with disabilities.

Many Employers realize the potential of these highly motivated workers, but they are asking, "How can I make this work in my company?"

Save Time - Save Money - Improve Customer Services

Well, it's easier than you think to tap into the talent and potential of people with disabilities. Hiring these individuals may allow your company to save time, save money, and improve the services that you provide customers.

For example, does your office manager stay late every night to finish the data entry so your billing can go out in the morning? How much does this cost your company in overtime? Consider reassigning the task to an employee with a disability who has data entry as his or her primary responsibility. This can reduce overtime expenditures, and the office manager may stay in his or her position longer resulting in hiring and training services."
