Disability In the Context of Diversity

________________________________________________________________

1992

A growing number of leading businesses recognize disability as a key part of diversity and incorporate it into their workplace inclusion initiatives. Reflecting this, many join forces to establish state and local business leadership networks—groups of business leaders and human resource executives focused on increasing disability inclusion, from both an employment and consumer perspective. An umbrella organization, the U.S. Business Leadership Network, is formed to serve as the collective voice for this movement nationally.
