A Diverse Workforce is a Business Strategy

TLC Outcomes Service can help you create a more diverse workforce within your organization. Currently, individuals with disabilities are an under-utilized resource for hiring capable, knowledgeable, skilled workers. Businesses who embrace a diverse workforce are strategically positioned in the business community. Human Resource departments often rely on the support of TLC Outcomes Service to simplify the seemingly complicated task of finding, screening, and supporting employees with disabilities.

FAQs

Rule 503 sets a goal for the number of individuals with disabilities in the workforce of federal contractors at 7%. This goal is intended as a guideline that incents a more diverse hiring pool and creates employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Failing to meet this goal is not a violation of the regulation. However, compliance is likely to improve a contractor’s positioning for a bid.  Read more about Rule 503.
