Through our Job Supportive Services program, we help employers foster a work environment that is flexible and open to the talents of individuals with disabilities.

In addition to creating a more inclusive workplace, there are many positive employment benefits when organizations hire individuals with disabilities:

  • Reassurance that they are hiring an employee that is well screened, reliable, motivated, and qualified
  • An opportunity to create a more diverse workforce and energize teams in new ways
  • A competitive advantage
  • A nearly 85% job-retention rate and a turnover rate of 20% (compared to a 150% turnover rate among employees without disabilities).
  • Employer tax benefits, including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and the Disabled Access Credit
  • A collaboration with employers to create an inclusive work environment

“It’s no surprise that being inclusive of people with disabilities is increasingly important to investors, legislators, regulators, and society overall.” – Rodney Martin, CEO of Voya Financial
