Busting the myths around disability inclusive workplaces

Published Updated 6 Min Read

Employees with disabilities often struggle to combat old stereotypes concerning their ability to perform the same work tasks as their non-disabled counterparts, or that they would be an economic hardship on the business.

However, these stereotypes are unfounded. In addition to improving employee retention and engagement, disability inclusive companies can gain as much as 28% higher revenue, according to data from Accenture. Inclusive companies can double their net income and yield 30% higher economic profit margins than their peers.
