2023 Best Places to Work: Announcing the DEI Top Scoring Companies
Disability:IN
We’re building an inclusive global economy where people with disabilities participate fully and meaningfully.
Disability:IN proudly announces the 2023 Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
The Disability Equality Index (DEI), a joint initiative with the American Association of People with Disabilities, is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions toward 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 “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion”.
In 2023, 485 companies participated in the DEI, illuminating intriguing insights from this year's benchmark, including:
Congratulations to the Top-Scoring Companies*!
*Note: Receiving a 100 score on the DEI does not indicate perfection; disability inclusion is a journey and employers that earn a 100 score satisfy the current criteria. These criteria evolve as employers adopt existing criteria and new best practices emerge. Disability inclusion is a journey and there is always room for improvement.
The top-scoring companies are listed alphabetically by the company name as provided to AAPD and Disability:IN.

More About the DEI
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 “Best Places 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 DEI Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, contributed to the development of the Disability Equality Index.

1yThis list has perfect scores for several companies that are well known in the disability community for violations of disabled folks. Very surprising.

1yI appreciate all the hard work that these companies and DEI put into the process of being selected for this elite group of companies. HOWEVER, It's not good enough. Over 5 million people with disabilities remain unemployed. I would like to see the numbers year over year of how many people with disabilities are getting jobs and keeping them as if they had a career. Instead of counting the companies, I'd like to know if DEI has any numbers on real people in careers. Counting companies is needed, but it doesn't give me a feeling that progress is being made. I would be glad to talk about how we represent numbers. Message me, and we can brainstorm some other ideas.
