Local companies create business opportunities when they hire people with disabilities.

When local businesses hire people with disabilities, they can turn a social issue into a business opportunity.

The costs of recruitment and retention can be lowered by working with a support agency that can offer pre-screened, qualified candidates who will often stay longer with companies that give them opportunities.

When a business addresses accommodation and accessibility issues, it has the potential to gain higher revenues by reaching a wider customer base, as people with disabilities loyally shop where they can receive quality service.

If you are an employer looking to hire, the benefits of tapping into this source of skilled and capable employees are limitless. To find out more, please contact: Matthew Danchuk, Director of Marketing – Tri-Cities 10 x 10 Challenge at 604-464-2716.

Encouraging Accessibility: Leading by Example

When designing a new website, or revamping an old website, the Tri-Cities 10 by 10 Challenge encourages businesses to consider how their customers will access information. With some thoughtful planning and consultation in the design process, accessibility features can be easily implemented from the beginning. A similar approach can also be applied to building design, product development and customer service.
