At MDI, we’ve long believed that employing people with disabilities isn’t just a matter of doing good—it’s about creating value. So we’re thrilled to be featured in the upcoming book Hidden Talent, written by workforce expert David DeLong. The book highlights organizations that have cracked the code on hiring marginalized workers, including people with disabilities, immigrants, and those with past incarcerations.
For over 60 years, MDI has been a leader in inclusive employment, with about half of our employees being people with disabilities. This is no accident—it’s the foundation of our mission to create opportunities that empower individuals and build stronger communities. In Hidden Talent, MDI leaders share insights into why we employ people with disabilities—because it’s a powerful value generator. Our experience and success are proof that diversity in the workforce drives innovation, productivity, and meaningful results.
The book, which also addresses the challenges of employing people with disabilities, offers practical advice for business leaders looking to tap into this underutilized segment of the workforce. As an organization that has been championing this cause for decades, we’re honored to be included in a book that provides such valuable lessons for others to follow.
Hidden Talent has just been published, and we’re excited to see the conversation it sparks about the untapped potential of marginalized workers. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t miss the opportunity to hear directly from Dave DeLong and MDI President/CEO Eric Black in upcoming interviews.
At MDI, we remain committed to breaking down barriers and offering meaningful employment opportunities. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s continue to shape the future of work together.
