An Enabled Workforce

According to the United States Department of Labor鈥檚 Office of Disability Employment Policy, people with disabilities make up the third-largest market segment in the United States. 不良研究所 believes that by proactively hiring people with disabilities, it is better able to serve its members. Just as we are committed to hiring the most qualified talent, 不良研究所 is equally committed to ensuring that every member of our workforce has access to the tools and resources that enable them to be successful at work.

不良研究所 National Disability Advisory Council

不良研究所 has long recognized the benefits of workplace policies that provide a supporting and welcoming environment for people with disabilities. 不良研究所 worked with key leaders in the disability community to establish a council to develop a framework for disability inclusion with respect to our employees, members, providers, and suppliers.

Our听National Disability Advisory Council听is composed of national leaders in disability advocacy who work on enterprisewide recommendations and initiatives that advance disability inclusion in 不良研究所's workforce and product offerings in our healthcare solutions.听

Andy Imparato CNDAC Chair

"I am grateful for the opportunity to lead an independent council that includes world-class leaders in our cross-disability civil rights movement and to partner with 不良研究所 to help them be the best healthcare company for our community as an insurer, an employer and a business partner."

National Employer Recognition

As a result of 不良研究所鈥檚 approach to inclusion of people with disabilities in our workplace, we have been named one of the best places to work for people with disabilities by the Disability Equality Index (DEI庐) for six consecutive years.

The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative by Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Developed by the DEI Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, the DEI is a national, transparent, annual benchmarking tool that offers businesses an opportunity to receive an objective score on their disability inclusion policies and practices.
