30 August 2011
Minister for Employment Participation, Kate Ellis today released
the Employer perspectives on recruiting people with disability and
the role of Disability Employment Services study. This new study
shows that while employers generally agree that people with
disability have a good attitude towards work, many continue to
operate under the misconception that people with disability will be
less productive. The study finds employer attitudes have changed
little since 2007 when similar research was conducted and concludes
that employers today are showing greater sensitivity to potential
cost factors associated with hiring someone with a disability than
three years earlier.
