Myth busting
Cut through the misinformation. Make informed decisions about your workforce.
Myth - Employing staff with barriers or disability is expensive
Fact - Adapting the workplace for employees with disability can cost no more than it does for others and can benefit the entire workforce – and if there are specialised workplace modifications required, we can assist with accessing financial support through JobAccess.
Myth - Employees with disability or barriers have a high turnover rate
Fact - Being an inclusive employer can lead to lower staff turnover rates – up to 30% lower. Employees with disability often stay in their roles longer than other employees.
Myth - Productivity for people with disability is lower
Fact - Many employers report that employees with disabilities contribute to the workplace just as effectively as their colleagues.
Myth - There is a higher risk of injury for employees with disability
Fact - Several recent studies show that employing people with disability actually improved workplace safety and that people with disability have 34% fewer accidents than other employees.
Partnering with an organisation like BUSY Ability is a great idea. You have access to a talent pool that you otherwise wouldn't have as an employer.
