Why should one hire persons with disabilities?

This is the first question that comes to the mind of any employer. Disability, as a category, is an overlooked and untapped segment. Hardly any human resource professional, in India, is taught in her/his study programmes to look at diversity from the point of view of disability. One should hire persons with disabilities not because of their disability but primarily because: • They are human beings first and foremost • They are part of a diverse workforce • They are educated, skilled and talented • They add to the diversity of the organisation • Diversity and inclusion makes good business sense • Persons with disability can impact the company’s bottom line in a very positive manner • It is now mandated by law to prohibit discrimination in the workplace
