Employers
Why Hire?
A 2022 research study commissioned by SG Enable revealed that companies that are at a more mature stage of adopting disability-inclusive hiring practices are also perceived by their employees to have a stronger culture and organisational performance. Similarly, individuals who worked closely with persons with disabilities perceived their company culture and performance significantly more positively than individuals who do not. Overall, this suggests that there are benefits that companies can unlock by adopting more disability-inclusive hiring practices.
