Disability Awareness

A Cornerstone Services staff member is available to provide training to your staff in the areas of disability awareness and diversity.   

DePaul University researchers, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, compared work-related variables of 314 participating employees with and without disabilities and found:

Workers with disabilities had nearly identical job performance ratings as people without disabilities

The amount of supervision required was similar for both groups

Participants with disabilities from the retail and hospitality sectors stayed on the job longer than their counterparts

Across all sectors, participants with disabilities had fewer scheduled absences than those without disabilities

Disability employment agencies and disability advocates were critical for recruiting and hiring workers with disabilities

We can also assist you to survey your operations to determine if one of our workers can perform tasks that can add a service, improve an existing service and/or solve an on-going problem that you encounter.
