Hiring people with disability isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s good for business
Here’s why…
A wider pool of talent. Around one in five Australians lives with disability. By making your hiring inclusive, you open the door to a large group of capable, motivated people that many of your competitors overlook.
Stronger loyalty and retention. Employees with disability tend to stay in their roles longer, which means lower turnover and less spent on recruiting and training replacements.
A safer, steadier workplace. Research has long pointed to fewer workplace safety incidents and fewer days lost among employees with disability — a benefit for the whole team.
Diversity that drives ideas. Teams made up of people with different experiences tend to solve problems in more creative ways, and better reflect the customers you serve.
And it costs less than you’d think. On average, hiring someone with disability costs no more than any other hire, and funding is often available for any adjustments.
