The business services industry leader company
is again highlighted on Disability Equality Index’s annual
survey.
Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) has again been recognized
among the “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion” after
receiving a qualifying score on the 2022 Disability Equality
Index®, the leading non-profit resource for business disability
inclusion worldwide.
Cintas’ recognition as a “Top Scorer” as an 80 Score company on
the DEI® demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to building
and developing a widely diverse workforce that represents its
communities across North America.
“Diversity, equity and inclusion has been embedded in our
company since its founding and we pride ourselves on developing a
workforce that reflects the diverse communities in which our
employee-partners live and serve,” said Max Langenkamp, Cintas
Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Diversity
Officer. “We believe when our employee-partners of different
backgrounds and experiences come together and are comfortable being
their authentic selves – no matter what the various communities
they identify or align with are – the resulting innovation,
critical thinking and problem solving are more impactful and
beneficial for everyone.
“We’re honored to again be acknowledged for our efforts to
support employee-partners and recruits with disabilities, but we
recognize that we must continue evolving our efforts and
perspectives to foster even greater feelings of equity, inclusion
and belonging,” Langenkamp added.
Cintas has earned a “Best Places to Work for Disability
Inclusion” designation in each of the three years it has
participated in the DEI process.
Of the 415 companies that participated in the 2022 DEI, Cintas
was among the 335 to qualify as a “Top Scorer,” and one of 188
Fortune 500 companies earning DEI honors.
“Disability inclusion is a rapidly expanding aspect of corporate
culture, and it’s gratifying to partner with 415 companies on the
2022 Disability Equality Index,” Houghton, Disability:IN President
& Chief Executive Officer. “These top-scoring companies not
only excel in disability inclusion, many are also adopting emerging
trends and pioneering measures that can move the disability agenda
from accommodation to inclusion and ultimately, genuine
belonging."
The 2022 DEI evaluated and measured participating companies in
the following categories to determine this year’s “Best Places to
Work for Disability Inclusion”: Culture, Leadership,
Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices (including) benefits,
recruitment, employment, education, retention & advancement,
and accommodations), Community Engagement, Supplier Diversity and
(if applicable) Global Operations.
"There is no single best way to practice disability inclusion,
however, the companies taking the DEI share the desire to create a
workplace that fosters the concept of bringing your whole self to
the office,” said Maria Town, American Association of People with
Disabilities (AAPD) President and CEO. “We look forward to working
with all of the participants to help identify meaningful ways to
build upon their current practices as we continue on the disability
inclusion journey together."
Now in its eighth year, the DEI exists to help businesses make a
positive impact on the unemployment and underemployment of people
with disabilities. The DEI was created by the DEI Advisory
Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts and
disability advocates. Launched in 2015 as a joint initiative by
Disability: IN and the AAPD, the DEI is acknowledged as the most
robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business.
