Diversity Inc. has published its top 10 Ten Companies for Recruitment and Retention http://www.diversityinc.com/article/8326/The-DiversityInc-Top-10-Companies-for-Recruitment--Retention
These companies all include disabilities in their diversity plan. But, how do they recruit persons with disabilities when identification of persons with disabilities is not clear.
It’s easy to identify persons who use wheelchairs or who are blind and some others, but what about people with perceptual problems or behavioral health disabilities or cancer or HIV/AIDS? Many persons with disabilities do not disclose their disabilities because of their realistic concern that they will face discrimination.
Another question is for what kind of jobs are persons with disabilities recruited? Are they specifically recruited for call centers and other low-end jobs or work-at-home situations or are they recruited for all jobs? What are the opportunities for advancement for persons with disabilities?
I’m not saying that these 10 companies fail in these areas because I honestly don’t know. These areas are issues that many companies fail to address and these questions are questions that all companies should ask of themselves.
