Celebrating NDEAM 2024: Access to Good Jobs for All! 🌟 October marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions workers with disabilities bring to our workplaces and economy. This year’s theme, “Access to Good Jobs for All,” reminds us of the importance of ensuring every worker, regardless of ability, has access to fulfilling, meaningful employment opportunities—not just in October, but all year long. Here are some ways your organization can engage during NDEAM: Review Workplace Policies: Reaffirm your commitment to inclusivity by ensuring your policies reflect a welcoming culture for all. Establish a Disability Employee Resource Group (ERG): Create a space where employees can connect and find support, fostering a sense of belonging. Train Supervisors: Equip your leadership with the tools they need to cultivate an inclusive environment, including providing reasonable accommodations. Educate and Inspire: Host brown-bag lunches or informal discussions to raise awareness about disability inclusion, or share inspiring stories of team members. Let’s work together to break barriers and build workplaces that value the talent and potential of every individual. #NDEAM2024 #AccessToGoodJobsForAll #DisabilityInclusion
