The recent Disability:IN conference provided thousands of those in attendance a wealth of knowledge on advancing disability inclusion. If you’re anything like us, you’re likely buzzing with ideas and excited to champion disability inclusion in your workplace. Now’s the time to channel that energy and consider how to turn all those valuable insights into actionable steps.
Research reveals a significant gap between companies offering disability training and those reaping the benefits. In a 2022 survey, 58% of U.S. supervisors reported that their companies offer regular training on disability issues and cultural competence. Of those, an astounding 95% found this training effective in retaining employees with disabilities. Conversely, 23% of companies admitted to never providing such training, though 68% felt it was feasible to implement.
These statistics underscore the importance of integrating training and strategic planning into an organization’s disability inclusion efforts. And iDisability can be the ideal partner.
