Winning the Talent War Through Neurodiversity: Getting the Greatest Value from a Traditionally Overlooked Resource (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780815382874)

Recruiting talent from among the disabled population poses unique challenges, which often are not adequately addressed by potential employers. Although job seekers presently enjoy an advantage due to global talent shortages, that situation may not continue. Right now, employers are hard pressed to find anyone to fill positions. At this writing, there are 2 job openings available for every 1 job applicant to fill it. In that environment, it makes sense for employers to explore alternative ways to get work done and alternative labor groups to do that work. In Winning the Talent War through Neurodiversity: Getting the Greatest Value from a Traditionally Overlooked Resource, William J. Rothwell and Jonathan D. Zion show how employers can overcome talent shortages by tapping into the often-overlooked pool of talent comprising people with disabilities (PWDs).

Few books examine the human resources processes relating to people with disabilities, and this one provides a range of new insights.

This is a book for anyone involved in developing HR strategies or with responsibility for how human resources are utilized in general, who are interested in improving the methods used to recruit and retain people with disabilities.
