You will learn how to move beyond just a surface-level diversity initiative to a culture that fosters an engaged, innovative and best practice-driven workforce. 

Mixing 2,500 employees—80% with a disability, 31 nationalities, and 28 languages—may not exactly sound like a recipe for workforce success. Learn how a unique nonprofit blends this unusual mix with a mission centered on dignity and respect, high business standards, and principles of wellness, education and sustainability across five unique business lines. With a dash of fun and a sprinkle of creativity, we yield innovative and passionate employees committed to inclusiveness and organizational success. You will learn practical, reasonable and realistic ways to incorporate accommodations and flexible business practices to support every employee in reaching his or her fullest potential, which in turn, directly contributes toward overall organizational success.
