The Founders of Bitty & Beau's Coffee on Building a Business Around Employees with Disabilities
內容大綱
As the parents of two children with Down syndrome, the authors learned that 80% of people with disabilities in the United States are unemployed. They were determined that their children Bitty and Beau would not become part of that statistic. They decided to open a small coffee shop in their hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina, and employed mostly people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Today they have 17 owned and franchised locations across 11 states and the District of Columbia-with four more slated to open in 2023-which collectively staff 400 people with disabilities. They believe that any organization can open its doors to such workers, and they've learned through experience how to get the best from these team members, how to overcome challenges, and how to capitalize on all the value they provide.
