Underlining a commitment to inclusion, Northrop Grumman is named a Best Place To Work for Disability Inclusion and earns a 100 score on the Disability Equality Index (DEI) over eight consecutive years.
A forward-thinking disability inclusion rating tool
The DEI is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score, on a scale of zero to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
Fortune 1000 companies realize environmental, social and governance factors impact their management, culture, brand and financial well-being. While many companies have identified methods to advance their disability inclusion, companies had recognized current benchmarking tools were inadequate in evaluating disability inclusion as part of their company’s diversity and inclusion, or broader, sustainability efforts.
