I want to share this positive article with you, although not referring particularly to Andalucia, more so to the disability workforce in general.

Barbara Otto is the principle of Think Beyond the Label, a private-public collaborative venture based in the US that aims to improve recruitment opportunities for qualified job candidates with disabilities.


Quote:
People with disabilities are creative problem-solvers and technology adopters with fresh perspectives that organisations need

We've found they have low rates of absenteeism and turnover, which reduces a company's recruitment and retention costs.
