Sparq Named Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion

Sparq has been named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by Disability:IN , a global organization driving disability inclusion and equality in business. To receive this distinction, Sparq was among the high-scoring companies on Disability:IN’s Disability Equality Index.
