This October, we celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) with the theme "Access to Good Jobs for All." It’s a reminder that creating inclusive workplaces means ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access to fulfilling jobs that pay well. NDEAM highlights the valuable contributions of workers with disabilities and encourages businesses to continue breaking down barriers in the workplace. By fostering inclusivity, we can build stronger, more diverse teams where everyone’s abilities are recognized and appreciated. Together, let’s work toward a future where good jobs are accessible to everyone. #NDEAM #AccessToGoodJobs #InclusiveEmployment #DisabilityAwareness #InclusionMatters #ConsumerDirectCareNetwork

A great way to celebrate Disability Pride Month and beyond is to hire people with disabilities. Right now, 85% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed. Many of them want to work and have skills to contribute. Among those who are employed, people with IDD are working fewer than 13 hours a week on average and less than one-fifth of them are getting workplace benefits. But research shows that disability inclusion is a proven good business decision. See these stories from employees and their employers. https://lnkd.in/e8yWhv-x #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusion #HirePWD
