Able!: How One Company's Extraordinary Workforce Changed the Way We Look at Disability Today

In a time when companies are outsourcing abroad, Habitat International, a Tennessee-based carpet manufacturer, has managed to achieve superior levels of productivity at home, often two to three times greater than its competition. Habitatâ€™s business has grown enormously, with much of its new business coming from work outsourced to them by competitors who could not come close to matching its productivity.

Habitatâ€™s secret: they hire the people no one else will.

At Habitat three of every four workers have a physical or mental disability. They earn normal wages and are cross-trained on every job. They work harder, with less supervision, lower turnover and an unparalleled level of loyalty. The challenges have been significant; the rewards extraordinary.

This is Habitatâ€™s story. Itâ€™s a powerful and moving tale of personal courage, deep commitment and challenging expectations. Itâ€™s a story of success and personal triumph. Itâ€™ll change the way you think about business â€¦ and the people around you.
