Edelman’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
As a global communications firm, we recognize that our efforts to foster a diverse workforce and an equitable and inclusive workplace are critical to our business success. As we continue to advance diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging to help fuel innovation, we must also work to ensure we reflect, understand and address the needs of the disability community.
To establish and maintain a space of inclusion and belonging for every employee around the world, and specifically to better serve and support those living with disabilities, some of our current and future efforts include:
- Supporting employees through Ability, our disability-focused Employee Network Group, by fostering a culture and community where individuals with any form of disability, chronic illness, and/or neurodiversity can thrive. This is achieved through engaging events, meaningful discussions, and dedicated opportunities for connection and growth.
- Continuing to broaden our internal DEIB trainings to include disability-related scenarios.
- Reviewing current internal policies and practices to identify areas where we can be more supportive, vocal and inclusive of those with disabilities.
