Disability Employment Awareness Month is a reminder of how important it is to embrace inclusivity in our workplaces. It shines a light on the incredible strength of employees with disabilities, who navigate daily challenges while making meaningful contributions. Just because the odds may be against someone or they need to adjust their approach doesn’t make them any less capable; in fact, it reveals their remarkable creativity and determination. When we recognize their talents and celebrate their resilience, we create a more accepting environment where everyone can shine and feel valued. Together we can spread awareness and change the stigma!

There's only one week left of Disability Employment Awareness Month, which makes this the perfect time to demonstrate your commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and belonging at work.
