Summary
Job separations from supported employment (SE) often result from negative issues like poor performance or conflicts. Improving job fit and employer communication can enhance job retention for SE clients.
Area of Science:
- Rehabilitation research
- Disability studies
- Employment services
Background:
- Supported Employment (SE) is an evidence-based practice improving employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.
- Understanding reasons for job separation is crucial for enhancing SE service effectiveness.
- Job retention is a key factor in the success of supported employment programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze job separations within supported employment (SE) programs.
- To identify common types of job separations and their precipitating factors.
- To gather data that can inform strategies for improving job retention.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective chart review of 47 SE clients and 67 job separations.
- Data collected from a university-based SE program in the Southeastern United States.
- Descriptive statistics used to aggregate information on separation types and preceding issues.
Main Results:
- Termination was the most frequent separation type, followed by resignation and mutual consent.
- An average of 2.2 issues preceded each separation, with negative issues (116) far outweighing positive (8) or neutral (20).
- Common negative issues included poor work performance, attendance/punctuality problems, supervisor conflicts, and social/behavioral challenges.
Conclusions:
- Addressing job retention requires focusing on person-job fit and workplace culture during job development.
- Regular communication between SE programs and employers is vital for early intervention.
- Proactive strategies in person-job matching and employer engagement can reduce job loss.

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
