Federal Agency Disability Practices and Employee Outcomes

Learn about strategies to increase employment of people with disabilities in federal agencies. 

The study examined how diversity practices utilized by federal agencies impact employment of people with disabilities. Researchers clustered policies and practices into nine categories, three of which were shown to result in improved outcomes for federal employees with disabilities: sufficient staffing and budget for equal employment opportunity (EEO) programs, trend analysis and direct supervision of the EEO director by the agency head.
