Employer Resources
Are you an employer looking to take advantage of the talent pool in the autism community? Great!
HIRE for TALENT- Building an Inclusive Canadian Workforce is a national project that will deliver a Canada-wide awareness campaign aimed at increasing the confidence of employers when hiring people with disabilities. The awareness campaign also aims to increase employer awareness about how people with disabilities are a talented part of the workforce, and will provide resources to help employers tap into this talent pool during their search for skilled workers.
Productivity & Business Advantages
These traits are commonly found in workers who identify as having disabilities. There are no productivity differences between workers with or without a disability. The myth that workers with disabilities are less productive is false.
The Untapped Labour Pool
The untapped labour pool provides skilled, knowledgeable staffing solutions to foster innovation and problem solving.
On average, people with mild, moderate or severe disabilities have higher education levels (high school, trade school or college) than people without disabilities.
The untapped labour pool provides staffing solutions to chronic HR openings.
Company Image
Due to an increasingly diverse customer base, most corporate leaders have begun to recognize that the inclusion of diverse workers is important to their companies’ success.
Companies now recognize that they can improve their reputations and public images by including people with disabilities in their workplace.
