Improving Your Workforce:
The Benefits of Hiring Adults with Developmental Disabilities
There are many myths and perceptions about people with disabilities as employees. Mark Wafer, a leading national employment advocate and businessman, will share his lived experience, both personal and professional, to demonstrate how people with disabilities are valued employees and an intrinsic element in his businesses success. Drawing on 18 years as an employer, Mark will include stories of how hiring a person with a disability improved the profitability of his company and gave him a competitive edge. You will be entertained and challenged to think about how people with disabilities could improve the performance of your workforce and your business.
Mark is the lead business champion on the Rotary at Work initiative, a member of Ontario’s Lieutenant Governors accessibility team, an inaugural inductee into Ontario’s Champions League, and one of four members of the Federal Government’s Panel on Opportunities for People with Disabilities in the Workforce.
