BROOKFIELD, Wis.–Fiserv has been named a Disability Equality Index (DEI) Top Scorer and a 2023 Best Place to Work for People with Disabilities.
This marks the fifth consecutive year Fiserv has been recognized on the DEI and the second consecutive year the company has achieved a score of 100, underscoring the company’s commitment to inclusion in the workplace, the company said.
The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion of people with disabilities.
‘Comprehensive Tool’
Fiserv said the DEI is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that measures a wide range of criteria within six categories — Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, Supplier Diversity, and Non-U.S. Operations.
“Diversity and inclusion drive innovation in our company, entrepreneurship in our communities, and commerce in marketplaces around the world,” Neil Wilcox, head of corporate social responsibility at Fiserv, said in a statement. “We are proud of the role our associates play in advancing disability equality for our company, our communities and our clients, fostering an environment where we all belong.”
Nearly 500 Companies Use Metrics
In 2023, 485 corporations, including 71 Fortune 100, 207 Fortune 500, and 249 Fortune 1000 companies utilized the DEI to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts. Each company receives a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion”.
Fiserv said it is a frequent partner of Disability:IN, a nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion across the globe. Through its disability-focused Employee Resource Group (ERG), Thrive, Fiserv said it shares in its commitment to expand opportunities available to those with disabilities through recruitment, development and empowerment.
‘Connect, Collaborate’
“Associates with disabilities, caregivers and allies connect, collaborate, share information and resources and participate in various professional development and community service activities and events,” according to Fiserv. “The council additionally aims to advance dialogue on accommodations and accessibility strategies for associates with disabilities.”
