S5E8: Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM)

REVUP Your Business with Hilda Gan

This month was Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) in Canada. In 2017, Stats Canada shared that 3.6 million working-age Canadians identified as having a disability. Only 59% were employed. COVID-19 has substantially intensified the situation. Currently, about 1 million Canadian job seekers with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed.

This episode of REVUP Your Business, we share several podcasts on Neurodiversity. Expert Joseph K Muscat and Hilda Gan share insight on the benefits of hiring those with neurodiversity and the obstacles they face from employers. Joseph appears on the REVUP Your Business Podcast, and Hilda guested on his Take a Leap and Transform in a two-part HR episode. I encourage you to check them out!
