ROI of Disability Employment
TecAccess works with small, medium, and large sized businesses along with governmental agencies to improve disability hiring practices and maximize their return on investment. We have received awards from the US Department of Labor and have been featured in films and national publications for our own internal disability initiatives, and we pass along this knowledge to our clientele. TecAccess´ suite of workforce solutions provides organizations with methods to indentify, train, hire, and place talented employees with disabilities into the workplace.
The Facts:- An Able Trust Employer Attitude Study demonstrated that: 73% of businesses report that their employees with disabilities did not require any accommodations at all. 61% said that the average costs of accommodations were $500 or less. While 29% even stated that accommodations were $100 or less.
- Adding to the business case for disability employment, a recent study in the Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation found that nearly all the employers (97%) who had hired someone with a disability in the past indicated they would hire an individual with a disability again in the future.
- An America´s Strength Foundation study by Neil Romano, performed in conjunction with the University of Massachusetts, recently released a national survey of consumer attitudes towards companies that hire people with disabilities which stated, "The public, across all ages and education, views companies that hire people with disabilities as favorably as they do companies that provide healthcare to all workers and actively protect the environment."
- Hiring employees with disabilities improves workforce morale, increases brand loyalty, creates positive publicity, and increases retention rates.

TecAccess recently collaborated with the US Department of Labor´s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) in an impressive roundtable discussion held at Virginia Commonwealth University, entitled "How to Improve ROI: Employment Solutions for Small Businesses." This informative video can be viewed on the ODEP website (www.dol.gov/odep) or by requesting a copy from TecAccess, www.tecaccess.net. ODEP is also distributing the video to the public in hopes of encouraging businesses across the country to follow the examples of Richmond´s leaders in disability employment. Watch this roundtable discussion and learn more about how these employers saved time and money by including employees with disabilities in their companies.
