Dive In: Springboard into the Profitability, Productivity and Potential of the Special Needs Workforce

Fifty-four million adults live with a disability. Add to that the tens of millions of parents of children with special needs and mature workers with age-related disabilities, and the number grows. These numbers are important to your company, agency, organization, or school because these people make up the special needs workforce, a grown of talented employees that you can't afford to overlook. In this book Nadine O. Vogel presents the business case for hiring and supporting this untapped and under-used workforce. She demonstrates the value of inclusion with statistics, anecdotal evidence, and examples from the world's most successful corporations.

Vogel not only encourages employers to consider this under-used group, but also presents concrete how-to information and best practices from in-the-know corporations. In Dive In, she maps out a plan for inclusion that can increase your company's productivity, elevate your status with your customers, and position your company as an employer of choice.
