Description

In this episode Bill is joined by Kandi Pickard, President, and CEO of the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS), the leading human rights organization for all individuals with Down syndrome. While the topic of disability inclusion has been discussed before on the podcast, this episode is centered on the labor market and more specifically a focus on the disability community, an important yet greatly underutilized resource in addressing the increased demand for talent many employers face today. Kandi joins Bill to talk further about opportunities for employers to ensure they’re not only looking to the broad community when it comes to hiring practices, but also to ensure that the workplace itself becomes an area for all individuals to thrive.

 

Bill Harmon is a registered representative of Voya Financial Partners, LLC (member SIPC).
