“For the 22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Kessler Foundation and the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development released a new research brief on disability employment. Strategies to Support Employer-Driven Initiatives to Recruit and Retain Employees with Disabilities explores a growing trend among employers to establish initiatives to increase the participation of workers with disabilities in their workplaces. Authors are Elaine Katz, MS, CCC-SLP of Kessler Foundation, Meg O’Connell of the National Organization on Disability (NOD), and Robert Nicholas, PhD, of the Heldrich Center. These initiatives involve partnerships with local workforce and disability service organizations. Coordinated by a single agency (or small number of agencies), employers gain access to assistance and support services for recruitment, training, and job retention for employees with disabilities. This new brief, one in a series on disability and employment, examines the successful partnership initiatives that have enabled employers to hire people with disabilities. “These initiatives are resulting in integrated workforces where people with and without disabilities work side by side,” said Katz, “and employers are reporting benefits in their workplaces and to their bottom lines.”
