IBM Diversity - Persons with Disability

www.ibm.com/diversity
Alvaro discusses the opportunities working for IBM has presented him with. Also discussed are ways to improve involvement of Deaf people in the workplace.

Direct Quote:
"IBM looks past the labels of a person and they accept anyone based solely on their own abilities -- they give them the chance to prove they can do anything."

"IBM opened the doors to me and gave me the chance to prove to them that I can be successful and contribute to the business."

-- Alvaro Guzman, an IBM Canada inventory control analyst, a member of IBM's People Enablement Network Group and a major proponent of rights for the deaf/hard of hearing.

This video certainly is inspirational.

Proud of IBM, I certainly hope many other companies in the future can grow to be more educated about employing persons with disabilites.Having employers to learn to look beyond their disabilites.

It is a soul touching situation to work and see someone with this kind of disability without doubts facing of his fear to let the world know that, they can contribute as much as a normal person can do.

Way to go, IBM!!! Don't lay off any disabled employees in your "downsizing" - set a fabulous example for the world, as you did so many years ago.
