Abstract

About 14% of the adult population in the USA is disabled (either partially or totally). There is a continuous influx of partially disabled population into the workforce. This results in a growing need to rehabilitate and provide better working conditions for the disabled individuals at the work place. This has not only necessitated a change in approach but also the need to investigate and analyse the economic implications on the functioning of the business model. Productivity measurement is a key element in understanding the social and economic well-being. This paper reviews the need to understand the relationship between productivity and the disabled individual. The goal here is to understand how the disability has a direct impact on the productivity of the organisation and the creation of accurate work standards can help determine this productivity-disability relationship.
