LOWELL, Mass. & WESTON, Fla.: UKG, a leading provider of HR, payroll, workforce management, and culture solutions for all people, has earned a 100% score on the 2024 Disability Equality Index from Disability:IN, the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide.
As a top scorer for the fourth consecutive year, UKG is once again included on the list of Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion. The Disability Equality Index, which was launched in 2015 by Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), is regarded as the most comprehensive measurement assessment tool of an organization’s practices around disability inclusion.
“It is a tremendous honor for UKG to be recognized for our ongoing commitment to creating an environment that allows all people to thrive,” said Brian K. Reaves, executive vice president & chief belonging, equity, and impact officer at UKG. “To be recognized by such an esteemed organization as Disability:IN serves as a reminder that the work we are doing is not about policies and procedures, but instead about making a positive impact on the lives of our people and our customers. While inclusion and accessibility require diligence and continuous improvement, this honor is a significant acknowledgement that we are heading in the right direction in creating a sense of belonging for all.”
The UKG commitment to accessibility informs not only how it manages its own people practices but also the development and design within UKG product suites. UKG takes an in-depth approach to accessibility with support across product development, including keyboard navigation, appropriate color contrast ratio, and screen reader and zoom capabilities. These features help to ensure that everyone can access UKG solutions equally to complete their tasks with ease, creating more equitable access at work for all.
UKG prioritizes disability inclusion on a global scale as part of its investment in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) and social impact commitments, impacting both U Krewers worldwide and the tens of millions of people who use UKG solutions at work every day. Implementing accessibility throughout its products and company culture, UKG:
Specifically, the Accessibility and Disability Allies Partner Together (ADAPT) ERG at UKG is dedicated to empowering inclusion and accessibility within UKG products, services, and work environments. ADAPT encourages team members to be compassionate allies and to take steps that promote inclusion within and beyond UKG while simultaneously focusing on training opportunities and workshops to spark actionable change.
Additionally, in keeping with guidelines established by the Disability Equality Index, UKG recently adopted accessibility meeting standards across the organization, including requiring closed captioning at all live events. UKG also continues to sponsor Paralympic Athlete Dan Cnossen, and this year expanded its efforts to champion athletes of varying abilities with a donation to New England Disabled Sports (NEDS), a non-profit that helps close to 600 student-athletes living with disabilities enjoy adaptive sports year-round.
“We do this work because we believe that every person can make a valuable contribution when given the right tools and environment to flourish,” said Pat Wadors, chief people officer at UKG. “As someone who sees having dyslexia as my own superpower, I understand how freeing and empowering it can be to openly share your differences, knowing that your organization is invested in your success. It is that ability to be authentic that allows people to be their most innovative selves and solve the business problems of tomorrow. This honor is just one symbol that UKG continues to make inclusion a priority for all.”
