#NDEAM
Observed annually in October, #NDEAM celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities past and present and highlights supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices. It’s led by the U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Office of Disability and is celebrated all over the country in many different ways.
#UsingInclusionToShine
This year, Parc Center for Disabilities is reaching out to all of its Supported Employment Program partners to organize participation in #UsingInclusionToShine. The campaign encourages employers to think about the importance of Supported Employment and the impact it has on the disability community. Building an inclusive workplace not only improves morale and workplace culture, but it also sends an important message about a company’s values.
An inclusive workplace values all employees for their strengths, which puts more emphasis on their skills and abilities and less on their limitations. This gives every employee, including those with disabilities, an equal opportunity to succeed, learn, be fairly compensated, and grow, allowing each of their capibilities to SHINE! True inclusion is about embracing difference and showcasing those differences to the world!
Together, we are #UsingInclusionToShine in the workplace and bring light to employees with disabilities!
