Another Key Advantage of Remote Work

Whether you’re on #TeamWFH or #TeamOffice, you can’t deny that the work-from-home movement has been a game-changer for many disabled people. 

As Bloomberg reports, Americans with disabilities achieved a record-high participation rate (since 2008, anyway) this past summer. 

The ability to work from home is a huge benefit to people with mobility challenges and also gives disabled workers the privacy they may need to attend to physical needs during the workday. 

But it’s not all about the employees. Employers, too, benefit greatly from this additional asset to the workforce. People who have held off from applying for certain in-person jobs in the past are now showing up, adding more fresh talent to the workforce. 

As a recruiter at Insight Recruiting, I’m encouraged to see this trend continue.
