From Aspen Publishers:
“Expectation + Opportunity = Full Participation” is the official theme for October’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), announced the US Department of Labor (DOL) on June 26, 2009. NDEAM is intended to urge employers, as they seek to fill positions, to embrace the richness of America’s diversity by considering the talents of all workers, including workers with disabilities.
Bravo for this unique theme, one that I do hope highlights what individuals with disabilities to do to contribute productively to our places of work.
If you think that hiring the disabled is to hard or will be too expensive or won’t address some of your current staffing challenges… think again.
