What We Do↓

Clairvoy, LLC focuses on capital acquisition and organizational design. In today’s tight job market, we are helping businesses leverage an untapped business resource—hiring adults with special needs.

The community of people with special needs is large. Nearly 1/4 of students attending local K-12 schools are identified as having special needs.  Include their families, friends and supporters and it makes up 50% of consumers—and it is a tight-knit group.  

In the past, these hires were viewed as charity. Sometimes hiring was done by business leaders directly affected by the community of people with special needs or more recently by larger companies seeking legal compliance. Few individuals were ever given the chance to have a role that truly took advantage of their skills and talent.

Today a compelling business case can be made to hire people with special needs.  A business case that will work with the most hard-nosed business leaders, shareholders, investors and even skeptical accountants.   

Fear and a lack of understanding is preventing businesses from adopting this abundant human resource which would contribute to the bottom line, reduce turnover and lower employee absenteeism.

The fact that 50% of consumers are intrinsically part of the special needs community should not be dismissed from either a hiring or customer acquisition & retention standpoint.

“You can’t just think your way into a new way of organizing. You have to organize your way into a new way of thinking.”

A business can try and train their customer-facing employees about consumers that make up the community of the disabled through professional development, but that requires expense and important downtime for your workforce.

Or, businesses can hire a few folks who are disabled and enforce they be treated with respect and integrated into the workflow (beyond cleaning, folding, flowers and food). Hiring people who are disabled fills an immediate company need and the interactions with your workforce of doing the day-to-day work allows for concrete institutional knowledge to be built about how people with disabilities can make a positive contribution and how their challenges in life are similar to employees without clearly identifiable disabilities. Every single employee you have has disabilities of one sort or another, and we form teams and organizational structures that allow us to compensate for one another.

Clairvoy’s Mission is working with businesses and government & non-government support organizations to create a sustainable vibrant employment marketplace for people with disabilities.
