Employers
Having skilled and reliable employees is a top priority for employers, because it directly impacts their bottom line. Successful businesses look beyond the traditional workforce to access untapped labor pools. This includes people with disabilities.I am looking for information on:
- finding qualified workers in Maine
- making adaptations or adjustments to work stations or processes to help my employees
- legal obligations and protections related to employment and disability
- training options available to develop my workforce
- the "business case"— reasons to hire a worker with a disability
National "Think Beyond the Label" Campaign
Maine is a proud partner in the national Think Beyond the Label campaign to raise awareness that hiring people with disabilities makes good business sense. The campaign started in 2009.
A recent addition to the site is a Hire Gauge that helps businesses assess the value of employing people with disabilities.
