8:00 -8:45 Building successful teams for accommodation.
- Can your firm afford to let others hire away the 20% of
America's talent pool of working age adults that now have a
disability?
- Is it ready to keep the leading causes of disability (arthritis,
heart disease and back injury) from forcing its skilled boomers into
early retirement?
- Is your firm one of the Oregon businesses paying the annual $800
million in time loss dollars for their employees who had received a
short or long term disability on the job?
- Is Accommodation part of its business plan for competitiveness?
PCC Structurals, a Portland aerospace metallurgy firm, is hiring and
retaining a skilled workforce that accommodates disability and they are
reaping bottom line rewards. They have partnered internal teams with
Oregon's accommodation expertise from Vocational Rehabilitation in order
to hire the best, get injured/disabled employees back to work quicker
and more efficiently, and significantly reduce cost of timeloss due to
disability.
Presenters will discuss how the team strategy to accommodation is
beneficial to PCC Structurals and its employees, and the how-to's of
bringing this model into various business environments.
