Services for Employers
The quest for talent is today’s defining business challenge, yet many businesses don't know about the largely untapped talent pool of job seekers with disabilities. Research demonstrates that disability-inclusive companies outperform their peers and report higher productivity, better workplace safety, higher profit margins and higher net income than competitors.
In North Carolina, companies like FedEx, LSG SkyChefs and Biltmore Farms have partnered with Vocational Rehabilitation to help them achieve workforce recruitment, hiring and retention goals.
