Around 38.7 million working-age Americans are estimated to be disabled. With skilled labor in high demand and short supply, warehouses should look to this often overlooked and underutilized population to bolster their workforce and ultimately improve operational performance.
In this virtual event, James Emmett, a leading expert on disability inclusion, will examine the benefits of creating a more diverse, inclusive warehouse and some of the steps needed to improve accessibility, including:
- A real-world case study showing the positive effects of inclusion on productivity, workforce turnover and safety in distribution centers
- Tips to communicate more effectively with people of all abilities
- Strategies and best practices to help support warehouse accessibility
"We have this anticipated very large shortage of somewhere between five and six million open warehouses jobs by 2030. We have to think differently… about where you find your labor."
