Persons with disabilities no longer a liability at workplaces - The Hindu

Persons with disabilities no longer a liability at workplaces - The Hindu:


"Organisations are initiating programmes to train them and make them job-ready

A liability and a risk? Not anymore. Employers are describing persons with disabilities (PwDs) as examples of ‘loyalty, commitment and enthusiasm, serving as inspiration for others’.

There is an increase in the number of companies waking up to this fact.

Organisations working with PwDs are taking the debate around inclusivity in spaces of education, employment and public life by the horn, initiating programmes to train them and make them job-ready, dispelling misconceptions about employing them. PwDs are now being employed for roles beyond data entry, voice and non-voice.

They are moving on to newer roles. From hospitality to retail, many sectors are open to hiring them for functions that discount their disability and play up their strengths."
