This book is about the employment of people with disabilities in
the United States and the important role of employer practices.
Nearly one in five people report some form of disability, and they
are only half as likely to be employed as those without
disabilities. With the aging workforce and returning military
veterans both contributing to increasing number of disabilities in
the workplace, there is an urgent need for better ways to address
continuing employment disparities for people with disabilities.
Examining employer behaviors is critical to changing this trend. It
is essential to understand the factors that motivate employers to
engage this workforce and which specific practices are most
effective. Disability and Employer Practices features
research-based documentation of workplace policies and practices
that result in the successful recruitment, retention, advancement,
and inclusion of individuals with disabilities.The Cornell team
whose work is featured in this book drew from multiple disciplines,
data sources, and methodologies to learn where employment
disparities for people with disabilities occur and to identify
workplace policies and practices that might remediate them. The
contributors include individuals with expertise in the fields of
business, economics, education, environmental design and analysis,
human resources, management, industrial/organizational psychology,
public health, rehabilitation psychology, research methods, survey
design, educational measurement, statistics, and vocational
rehabilitation counseling.Contributors Linda Barrington, Institute
