Recently I had the privilege and pleasure of moderating Seramount’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month webinar for Diversity Best Practices (DBP) member organizations, which amplified the efforts of individuals and organizations working to support people with disabilities in the workplace.
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) was created in 1988. Each October, the U.S. Department of Labor announces a theme, which this year is “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation.” This theme highlights how employees with disabilities are a multifaceted group, and through recognizing the full breadth of their experiences, companies are truly inclusive. Ways companies can support NDEAM, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Labor, include:
Professional and community organizations serving and advocating for people with disabilities
Ways to boost your support of employees with disabilities.
