OBJECTIVES: To understand how employment services (ES) are provided to persons with brain injuries (PWBIs) in Ontario, Canada, and the impact service delivery has on competitive-employment outcomes.
DESIGN AND METHODS: A mixed-method case study of one community-based agency that provides specialized services to PWBIs. Relationships between demographic, service-related variables and employment outcomes (2009-2014) were analysed using chi-squares and analyses of variance. In addition, 14 interviews were conducted and analysed using thematic analysis.
RESULTS: PWBIs accessed services on average of 16 years post injury; 64% secured at least one competitive-employment job, which was how employment success was defined in this study. Average job tenure was 368 days, and average job intensity was 3.8 hours/day. Employment success was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with use of job development, job coaching, case management and job retention services. Interviews revealed that PWBIs were provided five services: job goal(s) identification, assessment of work-related abilities/skills, job development, on-the-job supports and job retention assistance. Challenges to ES delivery included lack of suitable jobs and hiring incentives, and difficulties in establishing natural supports at the workplace.
CONCLUSIONS: PWBIs' employment outcomes may be supported through provision of ES to assist with: the development of realistic job goals and job-finding skills, securing work, on-the-job coaching and advocacy with employers.
