Employers around the globe are beginning to acknowledge that people with disabilities make reliable and productive employees, and that having a diverse workforce inclusive of those with a disability makes for a sound business case. The accessibility of employment processes and accommodations for individuals with disabilities needing adjustments to obtain or retain employment are critical to address these employment disparities.  For many organizations, human resources professionals are the gateway into employment.
