Get Ready for the 2026 Disability Index

Disability inclusion is both a business advantage and a catalyst for innovation. Companies that embrace disability inclusive practices are better positioned to attract talent, reach new markets, and deliver stronger business performance. Yet meaningful progress takes more than commitment- it requires measurement. The Disability Index can help.

As companies navigate shifting stakeholder expectations, evolving regulatory standards, and dynamic workforce and market conditions, the Disability Index provides companies with a clear, data-driven way to chart a path forward. The 2026 Index introduces a modernized approach designed to meet the needs of today’s global businesses.
