EMPLOYER EXPERIENCE OF THE EMPLOYABILITY SERVICE
In a published Indecon International Consultants report (2016) prepared for the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, one thousand two hundred employers were surveyed:
The report states: “98% of the employers agreed that EmployAbility enabled their organisations to play a role in supporting people with a disability and 96% agreed that EmployAbility made it easier for their organisation to support the transition of people with disabilities into their own workforce. 90% of employers agreed that the EmployAbility Service delivered on their overall expectations”
