Consulting firm earns top score on Disability
Equality Index
MENLO
PARK, Calif., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global consulting firm Protiviti
has earned a place on the 2024 Best Places to Work for Disability
Inclusion list, earning a top score of 100. Protiviti was
recognized based on its results on the Disability Equality
Index®, a joint initiative of Disability:IN and The
American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Now in its
10th year, the index is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that
allows companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside
their organization and assess performance across industry
sectors.
"At Protiviti, we are intentional about fostering an empowering,
people-centric workplace culture that reflects the communities we
serve and where every member of our team feels valued and
respected," said Protiviti President and CEO Joseph Tarantino. "This recognition speaks
directly to our value of inclusion, which pushes us to continue to
raise the bar when it comes to meeting the needs of our diverse
workforce."
Protiviti has worked together with Disability:IN to advance
disability inclusion and equality since 2021 and also works with a
global workforce solutions company to identify and hire skilled
candidates with autism, neurodivergence and other disabilities.
Protiviti's Employee Resource Group (Disability Employee Network),
an employee-initiated and led group that aims to promote
learning, inclusion and intersectionality within the disability
space and across the firm, continues to grow in scope and size.
"Whether an employee identifies as having an apparent or
non-apparent disability, is a caretaker of someone with a
disability or an ally, we want them to have a positive and
welcoming employee experience," said Susan
Haseley, executive vice president, global diversity, equity
and inclusion and ESG for Protiviti. "Being named to this important
list demonstrates our success in translating best practices around
accessibility and inclusion into impactful action while reinforcing
our commitment to providing a supportive workplace for all."
Globally, people with disabilities represent 1.3 billion
individuals. The Disability Equality Index helps businesses
make a positive impact on the unemployment/underemployment of
people with disabilities, while also helping companies create long
term value for employees and shareholders and mitigate risk from
evolving legislative requirements. In 2021, Protiviti was among the
first 100 companies to sign the Disability:IN CEO Letter on
Disability Inclusion.
In 2024, 542 companies utilized the index to benchmark their
disability inclusion efforts, measuring disability inclusion
practices in areas related to Culture & Leadership;
Enterprise-Wide Access; Employment Practices; Community Engagement;
Supplier Diversity; and Responsible Procurement.
Recently named to the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work
For® list for the 10th consecutive year,
Protiviti has also been named in 2024 a Best Workplace for
Multicultural Women and a Best Adoption-Friendly Workplace. In
2023, the firm was recognized on the PEOPLE®
Companies That Care list and was named a Best Workplace for
Parents.
