5 SHRM Survey Findings: Employing People With Disabilities: Practices and Policies Related to Recruiting and Hiring Employees With Disabilities. In collaboration with and commissioned by Cornell University ILR School Employment and Disability Institute. For this survey, we define a “person with a disability” as someone who has a physical and/or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. This could include (but is not limited to) individuals with a physical disability, a chronic health condition, a vision or hearing impairment, a mental health condition, or a workplace injury or illness. We define an “effective practice or policy” as one that leads to improved recruitment, hiring, retention, engagement, workplace climate and/or advancement of people with disabilities. 5 Definitions

6 SHRM Survey Findings: Employing People With Disabilities: Practices and Policies Related to Recruiting and Hiring Employees With Disabilities. In collaboration with and commissioned by Cornell University ILR School Employment and Disability Institute. Key Findings 6  What policies and practices related to the recruitment and hiring of people with disabilities are currently being implemented by organizations? Nearly two-thirds (61%) of organizations indicate including people with disabilities explicitly in their diversity and inclusion plans, 59% require subcontractors/suppliers to adhere to disability nondiscrimination requirements, 58% train HR staff and supervisors on effectively interviewing people with disabilities, and 57% have developed relationships with community organizations that promote the employment of people with disabilities.  Among organizations that have implemented policies and practices related to the recruitment and hiring of people with disabilities, which policies and practices were found to be very effective? Nearly one-half (45%) of organizations found that training HR staff and supervisors on interviewing people with disabilities was very effective. Several organizations also believe that requiring subcontractors/suppliers to adhere to disability nondiscrimination requirements (38%) and having explicit organizational goals related to the recruitment or hiring of people with disabilities (34%) were very effective practices.

In collaboration with and commissioned by Cornell University ILR School Employment and Disability Institute. Key Findings (Continued) 7  Are some organizations more likely to have policies and practices related to the recruitment and hiring of people with disabilities depending on the organization’s staff size or sector? Larger organizations are more likely to have polices and practices related to recruitment and hiring of people with disabilities compared with smaller organizations. Publicly owned for-profit organizations also are more likely to have some of these policies and practices in place compared with privately owned for-profit organizations and nonprofit organizations.

In collaboration with and commissioned by Cornell University ILR School Employment and Disability Institute.  Publicly owned for-profit organization is a limited liability company that offers its securities (stock/shares, bonds/loans, etc.) for sale to the general public, typically through a stock exchange or through market makers operating in over-the-counter markets. This is separate and distinct from a government-owned corporation that might be described as a publicly owned company.  Privately owned for-profit organization is a business company owned either by nongovernmental organizations or by a relatively small number of shareholders or company members. A privately owned for-profit organization does not offer or trade its company stock (shares) to the general public on the stock market exchanges, but rather the company's stock is offered, owned and traded or exchanged privately. Less ambiguous terms for a privately held company are unquoted company and unlisted company.  Nonprofit organization is neither a legal nor a technical definition, but generally refers to an organization that uses surplus revenues to achieve its goals rather than to distribute them as profit or dividends. States in the U.S. defer to the IRS designation conferred under United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501 when the IRS deems an organization eligible. A nonprofit organization may or may not have shareholders. Definition of Sectors 14
