Social Responsibility
In today’s competitive marketplace, organizations must strive to meet the diverse demand of its customers. And while customers may be driven by price or location, research shows that socially responsible businesses are on the rise. It is no longer competitive to merely offer the cheapest or fastest products, today’s consumers want more. The University of Massachusetts found that “87% of Americans surveyed say they prefer to patronize businesses that hire people with disabilities.”
Employing individuals with disabilities is one of the best ways to build loyalty with your customer base. It also allows you to capture the business of the largest minority group in the United States- individuals with disabilities. Mirroring today’s market will help you to attract a wider and more diverse customer base.
