Always good insights from Carole Mendoza on attracting and retaining employees through various benefit strategies.

"More than half of workers with disabilities don’t feel enabled by their employer to reach their full potential in the workplace." Lack of support also affected colleagues' and employers' attitudes towards their disability. Read about more workplace issues in the article: https://lnkd.in/g6FNsjdE And don't forget about Ready, Willing and Able | Prêts, disponibles et capables's resource - The Inclusive Workplace, which has many resources to help employers and their workforce: https://lnkd.in/eqEYMs4b

Studies indicate that workers with disabilities are more likely to stay in jobs longer, reducing high turnover costs. Nearly half of workplace accommodations made for individuals with disabilities can be implemented at no cost to employers, and those that do occur are often a one-time cost of approximately $300.
