If and when a company wants to hire a temporary worker permanently, it takes over the accommodation and benefits, says Egan. Many companies have a commitment to diversity but unfortunately don't have exposure to the disabled community. HirePotential and other staffing firms are happy to be tapping the disabled pool, and point enthusiastically to the many rewards that come with this labor source. The obvious reward for staffing firms is that a placed worker is a placed worker. But the disabled come with additional benefits, say our sources.
Loyalty is a benefit cited again and again by staffing firms that place disabled workers.
These workers are grateful for getting a break and they don't forget it. This is a huge benefit in today's workforce. The employment walls that surround people with disabilities are beginning to crumble as businesses become more aware that they have overlooked this highly talented workforce, a workforce that is loyal and productive if only given a opportunity. Egan enthuses about HirePotential's mission to place the disabled. I have many instances where everyone's lives were changed for the better.
