Many countries have passed legislation to prevent discrimination against people with disabilities. However, in the world of business many forms of discrimination are still practiced, denying opportunity for employees and potential employees with disabilities, as well as the companies that might hire and support them. Meanwhile, as many analysts argue, we are heading toward a high-skill labour shortage, with a largely untapped resource ready to fill the gap. Based on a multi-year research project by a team of experts in human resource management, economics, and communications, "Hidden Talent" showcases the innovative practices of organisations that are actively hiring, training, and retaining people with disabilities - and thriving as a result. The authors reveal the roots of disability discrimination, and demonstrate the benefits, to employers and employees alike, of investing in disabled workers, featuring in-depth case examples. Additional resources, including an overview of the ADA, information on tax and legal incentives, and a listing of related publications, organisations, and websites, will make this book essential for anyone researching, managing, or experiencing the dynamics of disability in the workplace.
