This is not new for AIG and its good to see the award being granted .Even when I worked for AIG between 2002 and 2013 the commitment to hiring disabled staff - in particular disabled vets, was admirable. Glad to see it hasn't changed!

What does disability pride mean to you?
In support of Disability Pride Month, our colleagues elaborated on why it's so important to engage in conversations, share ideas, and support an inclusive workplace culture.

#DidYouKnow today is National Disability Independence Day? On this day in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed, prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life.
Since then, workplaces have become more inclusive, but there's always more to do!
Advocate for inclusivity in your workspace by:
💙 Providing captioned phones and video meetings with AI-produced captions.
💙 Creating adjustable and spacious workstations.
💙 Offering flexible hours and remote work options to eliminate transportation barriers
These are just a few ways to make your workplace more disability friendly! Let's continue working towards a more accessible future together.

♿🌈 July is International Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the diversity and achievements of people with disabilities! We're seeing a growing focus on accessibility in the workplace and beyond, as companies strive for inclusivity. What are some ideas you have to promote workplace disability inclusion? #DisabilityPrideMonth#InclusionMatters#AccessibilityForAll#DisabilityVisibility
Tiffany Yu, the CEO & founder of Diversability, an entirely disabled-run and disabled-led social enterprise to elevate disability pride and the founder of the Awesome Foundation Disability Chapter, which awards monthly micro-grants to disability projects, stated that studies show that companies who prioritize disability and inclusion are more profitable after all.
"Disability is so often the root of innovation!
Let's keep finding ways to embrace disability as part of our company's culture.
Stop making assumptions, rethink accessibility and embrace flexibility, which will help close the disability employment gap." Tiffany Yu

We are supporting employers to gather disability data and encouraging employees to confidently disclose and discuss their disabilities.
But why do employers need to ask for information about disability?
Because talking about disability helps create a workplace that works for everyone.
Employers are learning more about disability but often don’t have the information to fully understand their employees’ individual requirements. The more meaningful information they have, the better placed they are to provide support to their employees and ensure their recruitment process is working to improve diversity and inclusion.
