Where Ability Shines
& Value Grows
Our mission is to bridge the gap between employers and talented, often overlooked, candidates with diverse abilities
We partner with employers to hire, support, and retain individuals with differing abilities by focusing on their gifts, not their disability, ultimately improving the bottom line through the proven benefits of disability inclusion
We empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by equipping them with the tools and confidence they need to succeed in the workplace
Under-employment of individuals with IDD stands at a staggering 79%...yet, data supports the positive influence IDD employees have on a business and the bottom line.
IDD co-workers elevate the culture of the entire organization, making it more collaborative and boosting productivity
Hiring IDD employees leads to improved "hard" values from "soft" measures by improving various links in the Service-Profit Chain
Being recognized as socially responsible gives a business an edge, earning trust and loyalty from customers, partners, and the community
IDD employees positively impact five of the nine dimensions that comprise the Organizational Health Index
Ultimately, there is a strong correlation between organizational health and a company's profitability
Are you an employer?
Many employers desire to harness the value that IDD employees can bring to the workplace, but simply don’t know where to begin.
