Benefits beyond packets of parts

Our client, a furniture manufacturing company, developed a program called the Ability Centered Employment (ACE) program to assist individuals with disabilities and improve associates’ work skills. They needed a supplier who could provide payrolling services and support for this unique population of the workforce.

ACE associates gain a sense of purpose and learn on-the-job skills by:

• Practicing social skills in a safe community
• Learning responsibility
• Increasing independence
• Gaining joy, normalcy, and a sense of accomplishment

Together more than 250 associates were trained by coaches provided by local community organizations who teach on-the-job skills while monitoring quality and accuracy.

At Adecco, we’re committed to making the future work for everyone. For this client, it meant helping every worker find a great job and build a successful career. Learn more how we do this through our partnership with The Adecco Group North America Foundation, which include free program to associates including the Aspire Academy and High School Equivalency program.
