You may not be aware of the significant business benefits of employing someone with a disability in your business. These advantages have been confirmed in both Australian and international studies. *
Reliability*
Overall, employees with disability rate better than other workers on reliability factors. They actually have lower levels of absenteeism and use less sick leave than their colleagues without disability.
The costs to business of absenteeism and sick leave for employees with disability can be as low as 34 per cent of the cost incurred by their colleagues.
Lower ongoing costs*
Employees with disability show a better track record than other workers on average when it comes to employee maintenance factors. For example, people with disability have demonstrated:
- Fewer accidents at work and significantly lower recorded workers compensation incidents;
- Lower absenteeism – 39 per cent lower than those without a disability;
- Lower recruitment costs – hiring people with disability can be significantly cheaper than hiring other employees.
Gains in productivity, morale, loyalty*
On average, staff with disability have productivity rates comparable to other employees and they demonstrate high levels of loyalty through excellent retention rates. Employing people with disability has been shown to improve your workplace by:
- Building staff morale and teamwork – organisations who employ people with disability are often regarded by their employees to be good employers;
- Helping to raise management awareness of workplace practices and conditions for all employees;
- Increasing customer and staff loyalty to the organisation.
