Disability Inclusion is Just Good Business

As a woman living with disabilities, Joyce founded Bender Consulting Services, Inc. on the belief that inclusion of people with disabilities is a sound business investment. With 1 in 4 adults in America living with disability, adding people with disabilities significantly impacts the size of your talent pool. We know it’s not just the size of your talent pool that matters, but also the return on investment. Companies who are inclusive of people with disabilities experience increased profitability and productivity.
