Show 10 Sunday .October 4, 1998 Davis Standard PARC workers with disabilities in lars and cents. besides Whens Contrasting his newfound enthusiasm at that time to his struggles with a previously difficult work force, Kosak said, For the first time in 10 years, I could quit playing with dull objects in a closet hoping to hurt myself and I could go around and build my business. ty. ' His new employee reported for work an hour and a half early on the first day. (Kosak had come early to take all the calls from employees phoning in with excuses for the day.) He didnt want to take a break, Kosak said of that employee on his first day. He didnt want to take lunch. He didnt want to go home at the end of the day. Not only did Kosak say he learned a lot about himself and others through his motivated work force, he said for the first time his plant could afford to pay employee benefits. Why is it you turn that pyramid upside down? Kosak asked other employers. Im not interested in what they cant do. Im interested in what they can do. When work places start asking that, they are going to discover a work force out there that doesnt stop. Powerful things can happen in big ways. Kosak, who has since been awarded more than 30 times internationally by every major organization with advocacy for the hiring of people with disabilities, said something immediately happened in his business as a result of that one employees enthusiasm. After Kosaks speech, PARC staff turned to their own employed clients who personify the speakers remarks locally. Three PARC clients received annual awards. In six months, in the production plant that had experienced a 89 percent turnover and averaged 20 tardies a day, the revolving door had closed. - At first, Kosak said, Some people couldnt take the intangible benefits and theyd quit. Richard Jensen received the Individual of the Year award. Kathy Maxwell was named Employee of the Year. Joshua Pack-hawas honored as Individual of the Year. The managers answer to those who left was to call that same organization that provided him with the first employee with a disability to ask for more workers like him. - In half a year, half of Kosaks tvork force consisted of employees with disabilities. ' Those that stayed (from before) had done some real soul searching, he said. Suddenly Kosak could measure the success of his hiring V nri A 4 T 24 Pk.
