"There are several reasons why companies should hire individuals with disabilities. First of all, it is the right thing to do, and our company has very strong support for hiring individuals with a disability. But, it’s not just because it is the right thing. It’s a smart thing to do; it’s a good business decision.  . . . We are looking for skilled employees out there and it is a huge untapped pool, the disabled. And these individuals have proven to be excellent employees and they bring new perspectives, new ideas, more creativity, and when you put the entire piece together, it really enhances the workforce. And so it has a positive impact on the bottom line."
