Employing people with disabilities in hotels can significantly boost customer intentions to recommend and revisit those hotels! That's according to a new study from the University of Surrey. This pivotal study challenges long-standing misconceptions and demonstrates how #Inclusivity can benefit business outcomes. https://lnkd.in/exATxxad Work is an integral part of adult life and The Arc supports adults with disabilities by providing employment opportunities, vocational counseling and career development. The Arc Montgomery County currently provides employment support to more than 50 people #employment #disabilityinclusion #disabilityemployment #disabilityemploymentawareness
