The Three Components of Indiana Business Outreach 1.Business Community Marketing 2.Business Partnerships – Internal Development 3.Provider Collaboration & Training Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

The Business Outreach Vision As a part of its overall mission, VR will provide Indiana businesses with a variety of disability- focused services. In addition to employer development, business con­sulting, and corporate relations, VR staff involved in business outreach will also actively develop partnerships with corporations and small/mid-sized businesses to help them create internal strategies to directly tap into the Indiana disability community as a powerful labor (and customer) source.. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

The Foundation 1.Business Focus: VR will take a “business-first” approach, developing support plans that meet companies’ needs and helping Indiana businesses develop internal strategies and units to work effectively with and in the disability community. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

The Foundation, cont. 2. Business Trust: VR will build trust with the Indiana business community by being responsive and dedicated to providing quality services to the business customer. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

3. Primary Point of Contact: Business partners often prefer to work through a pri­mary point of contact when working with area providers. VR will use this methodology, wherever possible, to increase efficiency for each business partner. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services The Foundation, cont.

4. Feedback Loops: These loops will be incorporated into the business outreach approach to ensure quality in service delivery to businesses across the state. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Employment Services & Innovations—Values  Time spent with business is time well spent  ESI aims to integrate the dual-customer approach  ESI focuses on long-term business relations, not one-time “job placements”  ESI looks to lead from behind, always seeking opportunities to build capacity in business partners  ESI seeks to position itself as a resource to businesses Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Ten Principles of Employment Services & Innovations 1.Do not devalue the services that can be offered by ESI and Vocational Rehabilitation to businesses. 2.Respect each specific corporate culture. 3.Take time to learn about the operational aspects of the company. 4.Build trust – don’t expect to have a trusting relationship after the first meeting. 5.Do a lot of listening. Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Ten Principles, cont. 6.Bring good counseling skills to the table – reflecting, encouraging, observing. 7.Do not overpromise – lean toward under promising and over delivering. 8.Step up our game with business people – always follow up and follow through. 9.Be creative and use your diverse skill set as rehab counselors to customize ideas. 10.Provide specific examples of how disability outreach impacts other companies (i.e. Walgreens, Project SEARCH).
