  • Employers recognized that people with disabilities represent an important customer base and that companies have an opportunity to win brand loyalty among a broad market of customers who value inclusion.

    “In Henry et al.'s [1] study, employers recognized that people with disabilities represent an important customer base and that there is an opportunity for companies to win brand loyalty among a broad market of customers who value inclusion [1].”

    “Another beneficial outcome of hiring people with disabilities involved an inclusive and diverse workplace culture, as reported in 14 studies [1, 5, 8, 18, 46-49, 60, 62, 70, 71, 75, 76].”
  • Better inclusion, workplace climate, and disability awareness correlated with an employer's capacity to offer suitable accommodations or training to all staff.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
