The US Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy has published "Diversifying your Workforce," a guide for employers seeking to recruit, hire and retain persons with disabilities. ODEP emphasizes that issues of diversity include individuals with disabilities. According to ODEP,
"Although the term is often used to refer to differences among individuals such as ethnicity, gender, age and religion, diversity actually encompasses the infinite range of individuals' unique attributes and experiences. Thus, disability is a natural part of diversity, and businesses can benefit by taking steps to ensure people with disabilities are represented in their workforce."
