The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
it has been named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by
Disability:IN and the American Association of People with
Disabilities for the second consecutive year. The company scored
100 on the 2019 Disability Equality Index® (DEI), a comprehensive
benchmarking tool that measures a company’s disability inclusion
practices and policies related to culture, leadership,
accessibility, employment, community engagement and supplier
diversity.
“It’s an honor to be recognized once again by Disability:IN and
the American Association of People with Disabilities,” said Fred
Colon, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Travelers. “By
fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion, we’re bringing
together people with different backgrounds and perspectives to
encourage new ideas and innovation in everything we do.”
Diversity and inclusion is a business imperative at Travelers,
and the company supports its employees with disabilities in a
number of ways. In addition to staffing a centralized team
committed to addressing employee accommodation requests, the
company launched its disAbility Network in 2013, a resource group
dedicated to promoting the understanding of people with
disabilities. The group has grown to include more than 2,100
employees across the company. Travelers also works with state and
local agencies in certain locations to develop career path programs
for individuals with disabilities and is a member of the Autism @
Work Employer Roundtable.
“Through networking events and mentorships, the disAbility
Network is shifting the focus from people’s disabilities to their
abilities and bringing a greater level of awareness to the
community as a whole,” said Robert Braswell, Chair of the
disAbility Network at Travelers.
Travelers was also recently recognized as the Employer of the
Year by Lifeworks, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that partners with
companies to promote and advance employment for individuals with
disabilities.
