Maximizing Human Capital: Employees With Disabilities–Retaining Employees or Engaging Employees

Release Date: February 2009
ID: V-0289-09-CH

In a time of economic pressure and revolutionary change, businesses need to maximize human capital in ways that are good for business. To understand, anticipate, and respond to the demands of the marketplace, businesses need a fully engaged workforce. When employees acquire disabilities, however, full engagement is often a more complex matter that is stymied by insufficient coordination and programming efforts among businesses, community service providers, and employees.

This webcast will discuss:

Research on employee engagement and how employee engagement can drive performance.
The challenges associated with retaining and engaging employees who acquire disabilities.
How businesses can develop and implement strategies for retaining and engaging employees with disabilities.
The tools that employees with disabilities may need to become more engaged in the workplace.
