Add Bank To Your Bottom Line: The Business Case for People with Disabilities in the Workplace
In an era where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are at the forefront of corporate agendas, there exists a pivotal yet often overlooked opportunity that champions social justice and significantly enhances business performance. This untapped potential lies within the disability community, a segment of the workforce that, despite possessing immense talent and determination, remains underrepresented and undervalued. John Register's keynote, "Bank Your Bottom Line: The Business Case for People with Disabilities in the Workplace," illuminates this path, marrying moral imperative with strategic business advantage.

Misconceptions and missed opportunities mar the narrative surrounding employment for people with disabilities. With an unemployment rate that starkly contrasts with that of the non-disabled population, the disparity not only highlights a social equity issue but also signals a vast reservoir of untapped potential within our labor market. This gap represents not a challenge but an opportunity for businesses to lead with innovation and inclusivity.
John introduces a transformative concept: "Innovatability." This principle transcends the traditional notion of overcoming adversity, advocating instead for adaptation and innovation as a means to harness the unique perspectives and abilities of individuals with disabilities. Innovatablity is the alchemy of adapting to challenges with creativity, thereby unlocking new avenues for productivity, engagement, and growth.

Keynote Insights:
1. Inclusive Culture Creation: Discover the imperative of fostering an environment where individuals with disabilities are included and actively supported through accessible technology, specialized training, and a culture of empowerment.
2. Strategic Recruitment: Learn the strategies for attracting this skilled and loyal talent pool, from forming partnerships with relevant organizations to targeted recruitment efforts that recognize and value diversity.
3. Financial Incentives: Uncover the financial benefits, including tax credits and grants, that reward businesses for their commitment to disability employment, enhancing the business case for diversity and inclusion.
4. Competitive Advantage: Accenture's 2018 report is a compelling testament to the power of inclusion, demonstrating that companies committed to disability diversity outperform their peers significantly, yielding unparalleled shareholder returns.

John's message is not just a call to action; it's a blueprint for innovation and progress. His unique intersectionality—as a person with a disability, a person of color, and a combat veteran—positions him uniquely to spearhead this conversation, bridging gaps and forging connections across various dimensions of diversity.

By choosing to "Bank Your Bottom Line," businesses can do more than just embrace DEI; they can redefine it, turning social responsibility into a competitive edge, and transforming goodwill into tangible growth. Book John now to lead your organization in this journey, driving both social and economic dividends through the power of diversity in disability.
