The Disability Equality Index (DEI), launched in 2015, is a national benchmarking standard to assess disability workplace inclusion and was designed by both business leaders and disability advocates. The 2020 DEI measured culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment practices, community engagement and supplier diversity.
Equitable achieved a 100% score on the Disability Equality Index, reflecting the company’s efforts to foster an increasingly inclusive culture in support of employees with disabilities.
“Equitable’s recognition as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion is especially impactful as we mark three decades of recognizing the rights of individuals with disabilities with the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act,” said Justin Francis, Equitable’s True Abilities employee resource group chair. “Sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce is one of the many values our employees pride themselves on to help create a stronger workplace.”
In addition to consistent top marks on the DEI, Equitable has achieved a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index since 2014 and has been named one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
