to inclusion and diversity in the workplace
BLUE
BELL, Pa., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
third year in a row, Unisys (NYSE: UIS) received a top score
of 100 in the 2023 Disability Equality Index, demonstrating its
commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace. The Disability
Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that
helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions
toward disability equality and inclusion. It is a joint
initiative between Disability:IN and the American Association of
People with Disabilities.
"We are delighted to be a part of the 2023 Disability Equality
Index. This recognition is another example that demonstrates
inclusion and diversity are crucial to building and maintaining a
winning culture at Unisys," said Michelle
Jones, general counsel and corporate secretary responsible
for Unisys environmental, social and governance activities. "Unisys
is proud to join so many prominent companies leading the way in
disability inclusion and will continue to champion this
effort."
At Unisys, nine percent of the global workforce self-identifies
as having a disability. As a business that helps clients break
barriers and achieve breakthroughs, Unisys realizes progress starts
at home. The company is dedicated to building an organization where
everyone thrives and belongs through initiatives such as the Global
Group for People with Diverse Abilities, an associate-led Unisys
internal group that provides a welcoming and inclusive space for
individuals with different abilities and their allies.
An established leader in ending disability exclusion, Unisys has
partnered with The Valuable 500 since 2020, a global business
partnership of 500 companies committed to this cause. As part of
its commitment, Unisys prioritizes disability inclusion in its
business practices, including recruitment, communication and
training. Additionally, Unisys offers a notable Inclusive
Leadership workshop to enhance understanding and mitigate
unconscious bias.
The 2023 Disability Equality Index achievement follows another
notable diversity, equity and inclusion recognition for Unisys, as
the company was named to Forbes' 2023 America's Best
Employers for Diversity list. The company recently released
its annual Sustainability Report, highlighting its initiatives to
champion a culture that welcomes all perspectives and people. For
