Eastern Bank is pleased to announce it has been recognized by Disability:IN as a top-scoring business in the Disability Equality Index® and as a 2024 Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion. The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative of Disability:IN and The American Association of People with Disabilities, and is acknowledged today as the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business.

“Eastern Bank thanks Disability:IN for its efforts in driving disability inclusion and equity in business and for recognizing Eastern’s inclusive workplace practices,” said Bob Rivers, Executive Chair and Chair of the Board of Directors of Eastern Bank. “We also want to recognize Eastern’s disAbility Advocacy Alliance Employee Resource Group, community board members, allies and others who have been central to the inclusive culture we are building, and we remain committed to the ongoing work that makes us a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”

Eastern has been a corporate leader in supporting equity initiatives through progressive corporate practices and community collaborations. This includes providing employee health benefits to accommodate apparent and nonapparent disabilities, and offering the Equity Alliance for Business to advance growth opportunities for underserved business owners, including disability-owned businesses. Eastern’s “disAbility Advocacy Alliance” is an employee-led and executive sponsored Employee Resource Group. It helps to organize workplace practices as well as community events that foster awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities and provide resources for their caregivers and allies. Most recently, it organized a company-wide panel discussion on recognizing barriers and building bridges to inclusion.

Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index exists partly to help businesses make a positive impact on the unemployment/underemployment of people with disabilities. Disability:IN is a global organization driving disability inclusion and equality in business. More than 500 corporations work with Disability:IN to create impact through the Disability Equality Index, conferences and programs, and more. The American Association of People with Disabilities is a national cross-disability rights organization advocating for the 60+ million Americans with disabilities.
