Why You Should Aim To Score High
The goal is to ensure that the recognition meaningfully builds a company’s reputation for
diversity and inclusion with potential employees, investors, and customers, including
customers with disabilities.
Top-scoring companies are recognized as the “Best Places to Work for Disability
Inclusion™”. As such, AAPD and Disability:IN will recognize top-scoring companies in the
following ways:
•
Use of 100%/90%/80% DEI Best Places to Work logo
•
Best Places to Work listing on the DEI website
•
Best Places to Work listing in the DEI Annual Report
•
Mention in press releases and digital marketing, which includes social media
•
Invite-only “DEI Top-Scoring Companies” reception and award recognition at
Disability:IN Conference
•
May have a best practice(s) published in the DEI Annual Report
•
Media inquiries on a case-by-case basis

The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a benchmarking tool for disability inclusion in companies, created through a partnership between AAPD and Disability:IN. It educates businesses on best practices, guides individuals with disabilities in selecting supportive workplaces, and recognizes top-scoring companies. The DEI measures various aspects of diversity and inclusion, with the aim of enhancing a company's reputation and attracting top talent. By participating in DEI, companies can showcase their commitment to disability inclusion and be recognized as Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
