Despite the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990,
many forms of discrimination against people with disabilities are
still practiced, denying opportunity for employees, as well as the
employers who might hire and support them. 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 organizations 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 listing of related publications,
organizations, and websites, will make this book essential for
anyone researching, managing, or experiencing the dynamics of
disability in the workplace. The Americans with Disabilities Act
was signed into law in 1990 to protect and assist over 20 million
people with disabilities. Though its mandates for business are
far-reaching, many forms of discrimination are still practiced,
denying opportunity for employees and potential employees with
disabilites, as well as the companies that might hire and support
them. Meanwhile, as many analysts argue, we are heading toward a
high-skill labor 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
organizations 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,
organizations, and websites, will make this book essential for
anyone researching, managing, or experiencing the dynamics of
disability in the workplace.
