July 15 2016 - 4:11PM
CSX (Nasdaq:CSX) received a company-record score of 90 percent on
the 2016 Disability Equality Index® (DEI®), making CSX one of the
“2016 DEI® Best Places to Work.” DEI® tracks indicators of
corporate disability inclusion, such as access, employment
practices, culture and leadership, and community engagement and
support services.
The survey gives companies an opportunity to evaluate policies
and practices and determine where a company stands in regards to
being a best in class organization for disability inclusion
practices.
“We’re proud to have achieved this recognition because it
reflects the open dialogue with employees,” said Diana Sorfleet,
vice president, chief human resources and chief diversity officer.
“CSX continues to foster an environment where people from different
backgrounds and experiences can contribute a variety of
perspectives and solutions.”
Highlights from CSX’s performance include launching an
innovative self-identification campaign related to disabilities,
prioritizing disability as a part of CSX’s Diversity and Inclusion
strategy, and supporting a disability-focused business resource
group including executive sponsorship and CEO participation.
The DEI® is a joint initiative between the US Business
Leadership Network® (USBLN) and the American Association of People
with Disabilities. The 2016 DEI® was completed by 83 companies.
“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,” said Jill Houghton,
executive director, USBLN®.
