THE FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF HIRING INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
KEYNOTE SPEECH SUMMARY
There is a group of individuals who are always overlooked regarding the diversity, equity, and inclusion conversation. The group I refer to is the disability population.
From increased productivity and employee retention to reduced absenteeism and training costs, there are countless reasons why hiring individuals with disabilities is not only the right thing to do but it also makes good business sense.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, individuals with disabilities have an unemployment rate nearly double that of those without disabilities. Additionally, the unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities has remained stubbornly high, even during periods of economic growth.
This is great news for the labor market because an underutilized talent pool is ready to work.
Disability employment is the next frontier in the fight for equality for persons with disabilities in the workplace.
What you will learn in this keynote:
Why businesses need to create an inclusive culture that welcomes and supports individuals with disabilities by providing accommodations, such as assistive technology, and offering training and support for managers and coworkers.
How businesses should actively recruit individuals with disabilities through partnerships with organizations that serve individuals with disabilities and through targeted recruiting efforts.
Why should businesses offer incentives for hiring individuals with disabilities? This can include tax credits, grants, and other financial incentives.
By creating an inclusive culture, actively recruiting individuals with disabilities, and offering incentives for hiring them, businesses can maximize their profits and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
John’s keynote intersects with a company employee business and affinity resource groups on multiple levels. His intersections are as a person with a disability, a person of color, and a combat veteran.
Book John now to advance the conversation of DEI and maximize your dollars through Disability Diversity.

During his military service, Register distinguished himself as a decorated athlete, winning nine gold medals in the Armed Services Competition and two World Military Championships as part of the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program. Register had his left leg amputated after a misstep over a hurdle changed his life. Register hyperextended his knee and severed the popliteal artery.
He started swimming to aid in his recovery, made the U.S. Paralympic Team in 1996, and later won a silver medal in the long jump—as he set an American record—and sprinted to fifth in the 100 meters and 200 meters at the U.S. Paralympic Games in Sydney.

Rather than succumbing to despair, John Register chose to redefine his life’s purpose.
