When a job is MORE than a job, you get an employee who exceeds your expectations.

Retention Saves.
Reduce hiring, firing, and training time with qualified, eager employees.
Hiring a pre-qualified person through Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities’ Supported Employment Program (SEP) means you’ll reduce
training dollars, decrease absenteeism, cut turnover, receive a tax credit, AND receive ADA training for your employees. Further, it’s official: companies that hire employees with disabilities report an increase in morale, according to research by the U.S. Business Leadership Network.

Turnover Costs.
Qualified employees help stop expensive turnover in jobs where turnover is the norm!
When you’re matched with a qualified employee through the Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities (AADD), you can help stop turnover in jobs where turnover is highest. You’re hiring an eager talent from the nation’s largest minority.*
And you’re hiring someone who is more likely to stay on the job. And exceed your expectations.

when someone is constantly giving 110%?”

* According to Craig Gray, Director of EmployAbility, Washington Mutual, “We saved money hiring more people with disabilities because they had better attendance and were more committed to their jobs.” Among Washington Mutual call center workers, overall attrition is 45%, as compared to attrition among people with disabilities, which is just 8%.
