Habitat's business has grown enormously, with much of its new business coming from work outsourced to them by competitors who could not come close to matching its productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHabitat's secret: they hire the people no one else will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Habitat three of every four workers have a physical or mental disability. They earn normal wages and are cross-trained on every job. They work harder, with less supervision, lower turnover and an unparalleled level of loyalty. The challenges have been significant; the rewards extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is Habitat's story.
