Abstract
Many employers today are interested in advancing diversity in the workplace. Yet, people with disabilities are disproportionately unemployed compared to their non-disabled counterparts. These disparities may be influenced by employer misperceptions about hiring people with disabilities, including high costs for accommodations and fears around litigation. However, research has identified the benefits of hiring people with disabilities and proven strategies for increasing inclusion of disabled employees. This paper aims to outline the ways in which employers can provide an inclusive and accessible experience in the hiring process for disabled job candidates.
