Disability Equality Index (DEI) - Best Places to Work

Standard

1

The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a

roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. Each

company receives a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a

“Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”

The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest

disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively

advance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organizations are complementary and bring unique

strengths that make the project relevant and credible to corporations and the disability community. The tool

was developed by the DEI Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and

disability advocates.
