Recognition honors leading companies driving advancement of
disability inclusion practices
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that the company is
one of 145 companies honored as a “Best Place to Work for Disability
Inclusion” and included in the 2018
Disability Equality Index (DEI) in recognition of Voya’s commitment
to prioritizing the inclusion of people with disabilities.
The DEI is a joint initiative between American Association of People
with Disabilities (AAPD) and the US Business Leadership Network (USBLN),
designed by disability advocates and business leaders as the nation’s
most trusted comprehensive benchmarking tool for disability inclusion.
The Index measures key performance indicators across organizational
culture, leadership, accessibility, employment, community engagement,
support services and supplier diversity.
“We applaud those companies that choose to take the DEI year after year
and truly commit to advancing disability inclusion,” said Jill Houghton,
President and CEO of USBLN. “Although we are far from true inclusion of
people with disabilities across the enterprise, the DEI signals
corporate America is recognizing inclusion as a competitive edge and
beneficial for all.”
“At Voya, we are committed to addressing the needs of our customers and
employees living with disabilities — as well as their families and
caregivers,” said Chairman and CEO Rodney O. Martin, Jr. “Providing
products and services that enable individuals in the disabilities
community to plan for the future that they envision is a business
priority and an extension of our vision to be America’s Retirement
Company. Our inclusion in the 2018 DEI serves as a positive proof point
that our efforts are making a difference in serving the needs of the
disabilities and special needs community.”
Voya’s commitment to serving the disabilities community is exemplified
through its Voya
Cares program which provides a platform for tailored advice and
resources so that Americans living with special needs and disabilities,
and their caregivers, plan for the retirement they deserve. Voya also
has designed programming to support its employees with disabilities and
those who are caregivers and most recently established a Disabilities
and Special Needs employee resource group.
