Employment - benefits

For people with Down syndrome

In addition to providing an income for better life circumstances, employment enhances quality of life by providing a major sense of identity, independence, a sense of contribution and belonging and establishing additional relationships and interests.

For businesses and organisations

Research has shown that people with Down syndrome are loyal employees, they increase morale in the workplace and are more likely to stay in their jobs than other employees. When employed and supported in their work they not only contribute to the flourishing of business but also have a positive impact on colleagues and the overall professional climate.
