Benefits of an Inclusive Workplace

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, when we celebrate both the contributions and also the untapped potential of people with special needs in the workplace. Several Al Sigl Member Agencies offer a variety of supports for people with special needs seeking to join, or rejoin, the workforce. Many provide resources to businesses seeking to learn how to get started.

 

Staffing Continues to Impact Nonprofits

1.6 times more revenue; 2 times more economic profit: What companies identified as leaders in disability inclusion generate, on average vs. their counterparts. 22% vs. 65% the employment rate for people with disabilities is only one third of the employment rate for the general population; regardless of education level -U.S. Department of Labor

Staffing is a major challenge for home-and community-based care providers. A 2023 survey by ANCOR found that nearly 95% of providers who responded experienced “moderate or
severe” staffing shortages. Nearly 80% shared that they had to stop accepting new client referrals. The trends were especially prevalent for organizations serving individuals with disabilities
and special needs.
