Myth: Productivity is lower
Fact: Productivity of impaired workers has consistently been shown to be equal to or higher than that of unimpaired workers.

Myth: Turnover rate is higher.
Fact: Lower turnover rate is shown by studies, as is greater loyalty.

Myth: Absenteeism is greater.
Fact: Less absenteeism is shown, plus greater punctuality and dependability.

Myth: Higher costs will somehow result.
Fact: Broken down into specific objections, this general expectation is dissipated. Employer costs are often reduced, indeed, through reduced taxes resulting from conversion of disabled tax.

Myth: Physical plant cannot accommodate disabled employees.
Fact: Where this is a factor, it can usually be overcome through appropriate adjustments, with little or no cost to the employer.


Myth: Supervisors and co-workers won’t approve.
Fact: Supervisors and co-workers in studies approve of disabled workers with whom they have worked. Disabled workers are found, in fact, to improve group morale.


Myth: Special considerations will be required.
Fact: Disabled employees generally avoid requests for special treatment.

Let the facts work for your business.
