IMPROVED OUTCOMES
Adults with ASD or other developing abilities have many positive traits that contribute to positive employment outcomes which can be extremely valuable to employers. Examples of these traits include conscientious reliability, honesty, a deep focus on detail, a lack of interest in gossip or conflicts with others at work, exceptional memories, excellent work ethic, and willingness to work hard. These traits are valuable assets for employers because long term reliable and loyal staff are difficult to find. Those companies willing to diversify their employee base and take advantage of these special traits will realize improved profits and a more stable work environment.
By improving the situation of this vulnerable group of people, Focus Ability’s goals are to help employers find better employees in order to add diversity to the work place. The benefits are multiple: the employee wins because they have built self-esteem and obtained paid work; the employer wins because they have a unique, loyal, and hard-working person with special skills; the community wins because another person has successfully transitioned into the community to be a valuable and contributing member; Focus Ability wins because we can fulfil our mandate to help people and make a profit to maintain our sustainability.
