October marks Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM). A focus on #DisabilityInclusion not only drives business results as shown in higher revenue and profits for companies that prioritize disability inclusion, it also helps foster a workplace which is open, inclusive, and equitable. Since the start of the pandemic, we've seen a marked increase in the employment of those with disabilities; driven by many factors including flexible and remote work allowing more individuals to find equitable employment, to new accessibility legislation, and build out of more inclusive company strategies such as disability focused business resource groups and enhanced workplace policies. This year's focus of DEAM is Turning the Tide: The Ripple Effect of Disability Inclusion, and shows the great impact of those with disabilities have. But more progress is needed and, with recent changes in the labor market, we can't lose focus on progress we've made and must continue to push for policies and approaches which are inclusive for all.

October is officially here, which means it's time to shine a light on National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM). Consider this: How can we reframe conversations around disability from a “limitation” narrative to one that centers around support, inclusion, and flexibility? Inclusive leadership tip: Instead of making assumptions around limitations, let’s shift the conversation to building a sense of understanding and finding ways to embrace DIFFERENT abilities. As with any inclusion efforts, we must focus on the outcome of belonging for ALL employees. Not sure where to start or how to broach the conversation?

🔶 How do you consider disability? 🤔 Disability is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. It is not about pity or inspiration; it is simply an inevitable part of life. Just like age, race, or gender, disability is a natural part of our diverse society that should be acknowledged, understood, and celebrated. Let’s work together to normalize disability and promote inclusivity, empowerment, and understanding. By embracing diversity in all its forms, including disability, we can create a more compassionate and equitable society for everyone. #WAB #WABCulture #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityAdvocate #SocietalPrejudices #EndTheStereotypes #Inclusion #Empowerment #SocietalPressures #SocialEvolution #DisabilityMotivation #EndTheStigma #DisabilityJustice #StopTheStigma #CerebralPalsy #CerebralPalsyAwareness #CerebralPalsyInclusivity #SupportCerebralPalsy #CerebralPalsyAdvocacy #DisabilityInclusion #Human #NormalizeDisability

The Disability Equality Index (DEI), a joint initiative with the American Association of People with Disabilities, is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions toward disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
