We are excited to share that nVent earned a top score on the Disability Equality Index®. We are recognized by Disability:IN as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion in the United States. On July 16, nVent was recognized in conjunction with the Disability:IN Global Conference & Expo.
Originally developed as a joint initiative of Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the Disability Equality Index is an objective, reflective, forward-thinking and confidential disability rating tool designed to assist business in advancing inclusion practices. It is a comprehensive benchmark that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions across five scored categories: Culture and Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement and Supplier Diversity.
"We are honored to be a Disability Equality Index® top scorer.” said Laura Brock, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer. “We are excited that the efforts of our ADAPT (All Differing Abilities Partnering Together) Employee Resource Group; along with the comprehensive benefits and programs that are available to our employees are considered best practice.” Disability:IN is the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide. Its network of over 500 corporations expands opportunities for people with disabilities across enterprises. Its central office and 18 affiliates serve as the collective voice to effect change for people with disabilities in business.
"On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow.” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN. “Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today's global market.
