Strong human capital strategies -- including recruiting, hiring and retaining employees with disabilities -- are critical to maintaining economic competitiveness.

Inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the workforce is proven to lead to innovation; innovation creates greater competitive advantage.

Open positions can be filled faster when you expand your search to include people with disabilities, thereby reducing productivity losses.

Statistically, individuals with disabilities stay with an employer longer, reducing business turnover costs.

Accommodations for workers with disabilities can lead to improvements that benefit all workers, and therefore create an overall increase in productivity.

Leveraging tax incentives can provide businesses with credits ranging from $2,400 - $15,000.
