Accenture has completed the second study of companies’ performances as they increase their hiring of people with disabilities. Their report, titled “The Disability Inclusion Imperative,” builds on the 2018 landmark report on disability inclusion at work in the United States. The 2023 update to the business case is enlightening and addresses:

  • Disability in the US workforce;
  • The business case for including persons with disabilities;
  • The cultural challenge to inclusivity;
  • The A-list framework to foster and facilitate disability inclusion; and
  • Prioritizing disability inclusion to embrace the full power of collective differences.
