Empowering Action Through Data
Take Action to Accelerate Disability Inclusion
Based on this year’s findings, we’ve identified the following key actions that companies and individuals can take to achieve sustainable and inclusive performance:
- Employee Self Identification: Implement a confidential and voluntary process for employees to self-identify as individuals with disabilities, enabling accurate tracking and improved workforce support.
- Leverage Disability-Focused Employee Resource Groups: Utilize the cross-functional expertise and lived experiences of employee resource groups to gain valuable insights and enhance inclusivity strategies.
- Conduct Internal & External Accessibility Audits: Audit for compliance under World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (W3C WCAG 2.2 AA) to guarantee that digital content is accessible to all users.
- Modernize Corporate Governance: Revise corporate governance charters to include prospective directors with disabilities in the definition of board diversity as most already do with gender, race, and ethnicity.
- Accelerate Expenditures with Disability Owned Businesses: Include disability in supplier diversity/inclusive procurement efforts.
