Luecking, R.G. (2003) Doing it the company way: Employer perspectives on workplace supports. Washington, D.C.: George Washington University, HEATH Resource Center.
Abstract
"This paper examines workplace supports that have proven effective for people with disabilities and relates them to employer perspectives of hiring and accommodating people with disabilities. Employment supports are also examined using an organization development (OD) framework that often influences general human resource management. A review of the literature and two case studies illustrations strongly suggest that employer attitudes toward disability are less significant when making hiring decisions than other factors, notably the identification of workplace supports and interventions that also contribute to improvement of companies’ operational and organizational processes. Combining disability employment interventions with OD interventions can facilitate the achievement of a more universally designed workplace. Implications for education and employment programs are discussed."
