Disability:IN National Resources
Supplier Diversity: In the evolution of supplier diversity efforts, today is a pivotal time for supplier inclusion with many corporations and government agencies in the formative stages of recognizing, promoting and utilizing disability suppliers. Disability-owned business enterprises have joined the ranks of minority-, woman-, LGBTQ-, and service veteran-owned businesses in supporting global supply chains. We are encouraged by this progress and wish to highlight leading business practices as examples for others to adopt.

Disability Inclusion- Getting Started: These best practices are gathered from participating companies in the Disability Equality Index (DEI), a comprehensive benchmarking tool for disability inclusion from Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD).
Disability Employee Resource Groups: Employee Resources Groups (ERGs) go by many different names (i.e., Affinity Groups, Business Resource Groups, Employee Network Groups), but regardless of what they are called, they share a common purpose. This Maturity Model has been developed to provide ERGs with an avenue to measure the progress, engagement, and ROI of their disability-focused ERG as it matures.
Mental Wellness: The goal of Disability:IN’s Roadmap to Mental Wellness in the Workplace is to inspire action, improve workplace productivity, and impact the well-being of millions of employees and their families around the world.
Disability Equality Index: The Disability Equality Index (DEI), a joint initiative with the American Association of People with Disabilities, is a benchmarking tool that provides an objective score and roadmap on disability inclusion policies and practices. Over the six-year history of the DEI, one thing is undeniably clear: disability inclusion and equality is good business. Being a disability-inclusive employer is good for recruitment, retention, engagement, and — ultimately — the bottom line.
Disability Equality Index (DEI) Best Practices Collection: Each year, the Disability Equality Index (DEI) helps capture best practices from top-scoring companies that receive the recognition Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion™. These best practices enable a culture of inclusion that promotes increased self-identification, employees feeling truly welcomed to be their authentic selves, and innovation sparked by disability inclusion being built into participating companies’ products and services.
