“As a woman leader with a disability, I know firsthand the challenges that can be faced in the workplace,” said Danielle Gruppo, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and HR Compliance at Olympus Corporation of the Americas (OCA). “I am committed to creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging, regardless of their background or abilities.”
The Disability Equality Index (DEI) represents a comprehensive tool that helps companies work toward disability inclusion and equality in business. A partnership between Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities, the DEI helps companies develop a plan and provides benchmarks for achieving inclusion, equality and long-term social impact.
Olympus demonstrates its commitment to creating equal opportunities for participation and fostering an inclusive environment through:
- Visible allies within senior executive leadership, including the newly formed Executive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council.
- The InterAbilities Employee Resource Group that works collaboratively to address challenges and establish best practices for connecting Olympus employees with the support they need.
- Informing all applicants of the option to request accommodations for the interview process.
- Monthly BeWell programs for wellness.
“We’re excited to again be included on the Disability Equality Index,” said Stacey Morey, Vice President of Human Resources at OCA. “I’m proud to collaborate with those who work to make Olympus inclusive of the people in our respective communities. Partnerships with groups like Disability:IN help our efforts to improve our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and culture.”
