The Rethinking DisAbility in the Private Sector \u2013 Report from the Panel on Labour Market Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities<\/strong> resource was developed by the Government of Canada showcases the business case for employing people with disabilities.

“From what we have seen in companies that hire people with disabilities\u2014and from our own experiences as friends or family members of someone with a disability\u2014we know that they can contribute greatly to business and to society. Yet despite an aging population and a looming labour skills shortage, this significant talent pool is being overlooked.

The evidence gathered from our consultations with Canadian private sector companies and existing research has convinced us that there is a business case for employing people with disabilities. This is good news for employers seeking talent, and for the approximately 795, 000 working-aged Canadians who are not working but whose disability does not prevent them from doing so.. Almost half (340,000) of these people have post-secondary education. We must find ways to engage with and employ these individuals so we can benefit from their education and skills.”<\/p>
