Employing a person with a disability

Employing a person with a disability has many advantages. It may help you to increase the number of disabled customers using your service, increase staff morale, and make your organisation more representative and diverse.

Employing the best person for the job

If you consider disabled people as potential employees, you will get a higher probability to find the right person for the job. Employers who limit their workforce to non-disabled people are limiting their choice of finding the best person for the job.

Prudence

If you don't comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), your organisation will be exposed to the risk of litigation.

Contribution to diversity

Employing disabled people means enlarging the diversity of your workforce. A diverse workforce reflects the local community and comprises a variety of talent and experience. Disabled people represent an increasingly important component of the workforce and a large proportion of potential customers.

Extending your market and the understanding of customers' needs

By employing disabled people, you will develop a more successful marketing and services strategy for disabled customers (who spend over ?40 billion in the UK alone).

Workforce efficiency

Disabled employees can be more committed and more productive than many other workers.

Enhancing corporate reputation

Recruiting disabled people means taking social responsibilities and equal opportunities seriously.

By doing so, you expose your business values and ethics, and gain the credit of consumers, investors and employees.
