Hire a Person With a DisabilityAt Brantwood we are committed to supporting people with developmental disabilities in securing opportunities for paid work for all people who want a job. Real jobs for real pay.
Why hire a person with a disability?
People with disabilities are an untapped labour pool of dedicated, skilled and reliable individuals in your community. They work hard, perform well on the job and bring new skills and diversity to the workplace.
People with Disabilities are more loyal to employers than their peers
A loyal workforce means reducing the cost of hiring and training new staff. Retention is 72% higher among persons with disabilities.
People with disabilities are more reliable than their peers without disabilities
86% of persons with disabilities rated average or better on attendance.
People with disabilities offer opportunities to develop flexibility in directing labour resources
Job carving allows employers to better focus skills in appropriate directions and improve efficiencies. Flexible hours of work and types of roles make matching more specific and effective in placing persons with disabilities.
How do we help potential employers and potential employees navigate the process?
Brantwood’s Work-Abilities program empowers people with disabilities by helping reduce social isolation through skills training for employment, self-employment or volunteering.
