A recent opinion piece in the Star Tribune by Employment and Economic Development Commissioner Steve Grove makes the business case for hiring Minnesotans with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are lots of reasons employers are hiring people with disabilities, and all of them are helping improve their bottom line.,&#8221; Commissioner Gove writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People with disabilities have been solving problems their whole life,&#8221; said disability programs coordinator Ken Rodgers of MnDOT, who is blind. &#8220;Bringing that mind-set to the workforce is incredibly valuable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Grove concludes by saying, &#8220;Opportunities to improve your business while also improving access to opportunities for people who live with disabilities is a win-win. We encourage more and more businesses to take advantage of this unique workforce. With acute workforce shortages across our economy, now is the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commissioner\u2019s article also includes some practical guidance and best practices. Great to pass along to hiring managers and business owners.
