Step 2a - Talent-facing Design and Execution

As firms struggle to hire people with disabilities, public sector entities must be an exemplar. Success boils down to one thing – be attractive to the right talent.

Our philosophy is simple: outsourcing talent acquisition and employee engagement to charities and government agencies is not effective because they do not represent or understand the vast majority of talent with disabilities. Public sector business units must build the capacity in house to “fish in the right talent pools” and be attractive to the best candidates that happen to carry the identity of disability. Organizational muscle must be built in employer branding, talent sourcing, recruiting, and effectively engaging current employees so that they bring their best to work – every day.

Step 2b - Citizen-facing Design and Execution

While most of the talk in disability markets is focused on Talent, the bigger opportunity is in attracting and delighting Citizens in disability markets to grow revenue and cut spending. Touching 73% of Citizens (voters), disability is the second largest global market behind women. Aside from sheer size, insights from disability use cases are proven to delight core users and have material impact on public finances. Your Citizens are demanding a better experience – strive for delight.
