I have more than 45 years of business experience (10 of them at the vice presidential level for a Fortune 500 company). I'm also a person with lifelong cerebral palsy.
 
Based on my background, my short answer to the question of finding dependable employees who will stay with you is this: Seek disability-honed accomplishment in the job candidates you interview and add them to your team.

By recruiting, hiring and retaining people with disabilities – the 13 percent of the U.S. total labor market which is largely untapped by your competitors but packed with accomplishing  and perfectly able (and dependable) individuals -- you'll be doing yourself (and your company) a favor.

You'll reduce your employee turnover rate because they're less likely to jump ship every two years.
