<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />HOWARD WINS THEM OVER <br /> <br />Like every employer in America, Wal-Mart needs good help <br />to survive in business. Like everyone else in America, Howard needed a <br />job to survive ... period. They found each other. <br /> <br />Following a terrible accident that put him in a wheelchair, <br />Howard had virtually lost hope of being productive and useful. But, <br />Wal-Mart found him through a TRC-sponsoredjob Club and put him on <br />the payroll. "r thought r would be collecting cans all my life," Howard <br />proclaimed. "I never dreamt 1 would be at a big store like Wal-Mart." <br /> <br />Wal-Mart also made an <br />amazing discovery. With a dwindling <br />labor force, people like Howard can be a <br />real find for dependable help. After some <br />initial reservations about hiring people <br />with disabilities, they began to look at <br />reasonable accommodations, a lowered <br />time clock, widened aisles and larger <br />bathrooms as smart business practices <br />that help sales. <br /> <br />They also discovered a <br />"bonus" in hiring Howard. <br /> <br />As kids rush through the <br />doors of Wal-Mart in Nacogdoches, they <br />don't run to the toy department. They <br />run to find Howard where they receive <br />high-fives for their effort. "I love kids," <br />said Howard. "They need help, just like 1 <br />need help." <br /> <br /> <br />You KNOW THAT <br />KIND OF ATTITUDE <br />IS GOOD FOR <br />BUSINESS! <br /> <br />
