The more sales and the number of people, the more awareness there is…’There is no suitable manpower’
Specialized consulting and job development are necessary for the company’s eye level
“You have to find a task that a disabled person needs to do when it’s not necessary, and you have to force yourself to make it look like a chore. If you ask me if that’s a meaningful hiring in some way, I don’t think so.” (Mr. A, HR manager of a large company related to the information and communication industry)
“If you have cognitive impairment, you can’t do the same general office work as non-disabled people. Then, I had to do a little easier and repetitive work, so I hired them because I thought they would give me a good and equal opportunity, but it becomes a structure where people who are uncomfortable with working at a lower level support people who are not uncomfortable.” (Mr. B, HR manager of a large company related to the manufacturing industry)
Large companies with low employment rates of people with disabilities have found significant difficulties in developing suitable jobs due to the lack of jobs to place people with disabilities. There is also the question of whether it is reasonable to create low-need jobs for people with disabilities.

In addition, companies had two different views on hiring people with disabilities. Hiring people with disabilities is a responsibility that companies must fulfill in order to accept government policies, but hiring people with disabilities is judged to be economically inefficient.
A corporate HR recruitment practitioner said, “The biggest goal of a company is to make the best profits, so the workforce is not comfortably deployed,” adding, “In such a situation, it is clear that this person should play this role, so there is inconvenience when that is not achieved.”
When asked if it was easy to hire people with disabilities, he said, “It is very difficult.” The most difficult part was the response that “there are no suitable personnel.” They are of the opinion that it is difficult to find people with disabilities who can work in internal general jobs and mainstream jobs, but it is argued that it is difficult to supply people with disabilities because the pool of people with disabilities who can select people with disabilities suitable for general jobs is too narrow. As a result, it is necessary to develop peripheral jobs for hiring people with disabilities, and there were many opinions that this job development is very difficult for companies.
