Introducing the Disability Equality Index (DEI)
January 8, 2013 | Randy Cooper
I'm very excited to be part of the AAPD and USBLN Team responsible for producing a corporate benchmarking tool on workplace policies and practices regarding the employment of people with disabilities. We anticipate the Disability Equality Index (DEI) will provide an objective way for companies to benchmark their progress and identify avenues for continued improvement. It will keep practitioners informed of best and emerging practices and point them toward peers in the employer community that are already demonstrating exemplary efforts.
We believe the DEI will become a unique tool that will focus on building relationships and consensus with executives in the private sector to advance employment opportunities for people with disabilities throughout the workforce. Let us know what you think should be included in a disability equality index.
