Abstract

Although the Brazilian Legislation already has the Quota Law No 8.213/91, there are still barriers related to discrimination and prejudice, which mark the social, labor and economic relationships experienced by desabled people. These are business, family and personal obtacles that deserve attention and discussion. In this context, the objective of this work is to analyze how the process of insertion and ascension of desabled people in the work actibity of a supermarket takes place. The research has an exploratory nature and was used as a case study method. Data analyses was carried out in accordance with previously estanlisher theoretical propositions based on the theoretical framework. The results revealed that the company studied does not have an ideal number of employess with bisabilities, according to the legislation. But it is constantly looking for vacancies to be filled, not only for compliance with the law, but also for the social responsibility rooted in the organization. The reports of people with disabilities collected in the study regarding the conditions offered by the supermarket point to the existence of good working conditions and an inclusive organizational climate. From the foregoing, it is concluded that hiring and monitoring people with disabilities is not just a matter of following the legislation, it requires specific care such as the correct description of positions and monitoring their day-to-day activities to know if are having some difficulty. In addition, people with disabilities should be hired thinking about their ability and how they would handle the service for which they were hired, because with special care and working in a position compatible with their disability, people with disabilities produce the same benefit than a non- disabled employee. Finally, it is necessary to know the disability of the future employee, to find out if there is a need to change any physical structure of the workplace.
