InReturn Strategies—a local startup that helps employers hire more people with disabilities—has just landed another big client.

Local financial tech company C2FO recently announced plans to use the service. Other early clients include Commerce Bank and the Kansas City Public Library. InReturn Strategies was founded by Jim Atwater, who wants to make it easier for companies to find the right person for their open positions.

“C2FO is the world’s largest market for working capital, and Jim is building what we think could be one of the world’s most important markets for human capital,” said Sandy Kemper, chairman and CEO of C2FO. “We are proud to be an early adopter of a program that will be a game-changer for the disabled populations and the companies who seek to hire among them.”

There’s a strong financial argument for hiring workers who have disabilities, Atwater said.

“Research indicates that hiring people with disabilities enhances retention, profitability and morale,” he said. “Disabled employees have lower turnover and absentee rates than nondisabled employees, and are often the highest-performing employees in a company. Additionally, many companies receive tax benefits from hiring disabled workers, but there hasn’t been an easy, efficient way to do it before now.”
