The invisible consumers<\/h2>\n

Although conventional thinking has evolved, many business owners don\u2019t see people with disabilities as a potential market opportunity. They don\u2019t yet see the big picture, especially when it comes to demographics in Canada.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Graphic<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Graphic of a Statistics Canada chart from 2012 showing the prevalence of disability by age group with the highest prevalence indicated for people aged 75 and over.<\/p>\n

Retiring boomers<\/h2>\n

We have an aging population with the largest generation ever entering retirement. Of those aging baby boomers, some will certainly experience new mobility challenges, hearing impairments, and vision loss. Those changes brought on by aging will only add to the already huge number of people living with disabilities today.<\/p>\n

\n

According to StatsCan\u2019s \u201cCanadian Survey on Disability\u201d conducted in 2017, an incredible 22 percent of Canadians over 15 years old identified as having at least one disability. That\u2019s 6.2 million Canadians!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Estimated market growth<\/h2>\n

These retiring boomers also have considerable wealth, and they will require specialized services and products to accommodate their changing lifestyle needs. If numbers alone don\u2019t convince you, perhaps spending power will.<\/p>\n

Take Ontario, for example. In the coming years, Ontario\u2019s mature population will significantly increase. The province reports that the median age of the population will move up from 40 years in 2012 to 43 years in 2036. As the population matures, the rate of susceptibility of acquiring a disability from injury and disease increases.<\/p>\n

Of course, employers want to retain their vital talent pool of experienced mature workers for as long as possible. To prevent an exodus of knowledge and experience, savvy business owners realize that a few changes can help extend the careers of many and respond to future talent shortages.<\/p>\n

\n

Disability management is a proactive workplace process that allows employers to better support employees with physical and mental health issues while they are at work.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The power of values<\/h2>\n

If you think it\u2019s difficult to find skilled, responsible, and loyal employees, you are not alone. Although Canada enjoys a relatively low unemployment rate, many companies suffer from high turnover. Creating an inclusive workplace can help solve for that. In fact, working with a diverse group of people that includes people with disabilities benefits everyone \u2013your team, your customers, and your business growth.<\/p>\n

\n

The Conference Board of Canada reports employees with disabilities perform better in almost every way: job retention, attendance, performance, work quality, and safety records.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inclusive design delivers value to product development, the customer experience, and to the brand. Consumers who value the environmental, social, and governance components of their products and services now form a majority. People of all ages and backgrounds favour brands that are inclusive, socially aware, and act in-line with their values as consumers and employees.<\/p>\n

Preparing for change<\/h2>\n

As the thought leaders of your organization get older, how do you plan to replace their contribution before they leave? Change can bring on reward or defeat, depending on how you manage it. Organizations that demonstrate progressive principles prosper and extend their brand further than those who sit on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\n

Business owners can help future-proof their business by driving their own accessibility & inclusivity strategy today. They can respond to talent shortages, reflect the markets they serve, and build a better reputation.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Get informed! Get inspired!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
