CSC (NYSE:CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT
services and solutions, today announced that it is among
27 leading organizations selected to receive the “2016
Leading Disability Employer Seal”™ from the National
Organization on Disability (NOD). CSC also received the
top score of 100 on the 2016 Disability Equality
Index® (DEI®), receiving the designation of “2016
DEI Best Places to Work.”
“We are proud that CSC is recognized
as a diverse workplace where people of all
backgrounds, age, skills and experience work together
to accomplish great things,” said Jo Mason, CSC’s Chief Human
Resource Officer. “We actively promote and
advance inclusive policies and practices that lead
to better employment outcomes for people with disabilities as
employees, customers and suppliers. Our goal is
to provide as many avenues as possible for
employee engagement and success, both professionally and
personally, while reflecting the dynamic industry we
represent.”
The NOD “Leading Disability Employer Seal” is a new
effort to recognize companies that demonstrate exemplary
hiring and employment practices for people with disabilities.
It is awarded based on data furnished by companies in response
to NOD’s Disability Employment Tracker™, a free, confidential,
online assessment and benchmarking of companies’ disability
inclusion programs in the following areas:
- Climate and Culture
- Identifying and Sourcing Talent
- Onboarding
- Performance Management
- Tracking and Measurement, including
outcomes in the past 12 months and goals for the next 12-18
months
The DEI is a joint initiative between the US Business Leadership
Network® (USBLN®) and the American Association of People with
Disabilities (AAPD). The survey was completed by 83
Fortune 1000-size companies, two-thirds of these companies top the
Fortune 500 list. DEI points are awarded in four major
categories:
- Culture & Leadership
- Enterprise-wide Access
- Employment Practices
- Community Engagement & Support
Services
By receiving a top score on the DEI, companies demonstrate
significant business leadership, going far beyond compliance
activities, driving their business success through leading
disability inclusion policies and practices.
The DEI was first introduced in 2012 and piloted in 2013-2014
with 48 companies prior to the official go-live launch of the
inaugural DEI in Fall 2014, which concluded in 2015.
