The professional activation of people with disabilities translates into an improved culture within the company and society. Employers who hire people with disabilities demonstrate that they do not segregate people into superior and inferior categories. They also gain loyal, dedicated employees. Research shows that engaging in professional activity by everyone satisfies many needs, such as recognition and belonging.
In many European Union countries, employers have long recognized the comprehensive benefits of including people with disabilities in their workforce. This is because, abroad, most businesses focus on the capabilities of people with disabilities, not their limitations.
Employing people with disabilities offers a company an opportunity for sustainable development in the spirit of corporate social responsibility. CSR (corporate social responsibility) is a management strategy whereby a company voluntarily considers social interests and invests in human resources. Employers who hire people with disabilities benefit socially and in terms of their image – they demonstrate that they are sensitive to inequalities and strive to counteract them, and strive to recognize the potential in every employee.
The image benefits of implementing a CSR strategy through employing people with disabilities are invaluable. Furthermore, employers gain material benefits – by including people with disabilities in their workforce, they can benefit from savings in State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (PFRON) payments and reimbursement of the costs of employing a disabled employee and their training.
