Our Values
A diverse workforce benefits an employer's bottom line, increases competitiveness, and strengthens Canada’s economy. Our mission is to help employers understand the value of a diverse workforce, supply them with resources to help them get there, and support persons with disabilities in not only accessing jobs, but in forging rewarding careers.
The true value of creating and sustaining inclusive workplaces doesn’t come from ticking a “diversity” box—it comes from employers and employees realizing and embracing the many benefits of an inclusive work environment.
We encourage job seekers and employers to join the Discover Ability Network, make new connections, and work towards an inclusive and prosperous future, together.
Diversity and Inclusion
Disability inclusion isn’t just about hiring persons with disabilities, or other equity deserving groups. It’s about increased profits and productivity for your business. A diverse workforce will improve your bottom line, increase your competitiveness, and strengthen Canada’s economy.
Join the Discover Ability Network today to create a plan for your business to tap into new talent pools.
