Estratégias de recursos humanos para incluir a pessoa portadora de deficiência no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The opening of the job market to the physically impaired, through the recent passing of specific legislation, now obliges Brazilian companies to adapt themselves to receive these people, respect their right to work and guarantee accessibility, allowing them to become and feel more independent and productive to society. The present study analyzes the strategies in human resources of 22 Brazilian companies that have adapted and welcomed physically impaired professionals into their staff and the job market. The study also discusses certain aspects of company motivation, social integration of the physically impaired, and its specific legislation. This research, which was carried out among a sample group of Brazilian companies that now hire professionals with physical impairment, implies an unfavorable quantitative trend in their insertion in the job market. The results of this research indicate the need to disseminate knowledge of this specific legislation. As a result of the reexamination of existing literature, even though scarce due to its specificity, and of the empirical data obtained, certain basic elements are suggested to create appropriate conditions and an environment of greater motivation and social integration for the impaired.
