Company focus on programs for employees with
disabilities and inclusion training contributed to 100 score on the
annual benchmark
Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL) today announced that it has earned the
top score of 100 on the 2024 Disability Equality Index®, the
world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000-scope
companies to understand how organizational policies and practices
are creating a more inclusive workplace for employees with
disabilities, while assessing performance across industry sectors.
By receiving a 100 score, Jabil has also been recognized as a 2024
Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.
The Disability Equality Index was launched in 2015 as a joint
initiative of Disability:IN and the American Association of People
with Disabilities (AAPD) to help businesses make a positive impact
on the unemployment and underemployment of people with
disabilities. This year’s index measured company culture and
leadership; enterprise-wide access; employment practices; community
engagement; supplier diversity; and responsible procurement.
“Jabil is committed to developing programs at our sites around
the world to increase employment and development opportunities for
individuals with disabilities, as well as promote disability
inclusion and awareness through education and sharing best
practices,” said Jabil SVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Gary
Schick. “Our differences make us better, which is why we are
dedicated to shaping a workplace where diversity is celebrated and
everyone can be their true selves.”
Across its global footprint, Jabil has established 25 programs
for employees with disabilities, with a goal of developing 40 or
more by fiscal year 2026 as part of the company’s five-year
sustainability strategy.
Jabil’s commitment to inclusion extends into the communities
where its employees live and work. The company partners with
organizations around the world that support and embrace people with
disabilities, including Special Olympics North America, Special
Olympics Florida, Learning Independence for Tomorrow (LiFT), and
Southeastern Guide Dogs at its St. Petersburg, Florida,
headquarters. Jabil was also a proud sponsor of the Tampa Bay
Lightning’s second annual Neurodiversity Night in April.
“At Jabil, our greatest strength is our people and the unique
perspectives each employee has to offer. By focusing on
opportunities for people with disabilities, we create a more
diverse and inclusive workplace, which fuels creativity and
advances new ideas that benefit our customers,” said Jabil EVP of
Operations Fred McCoy.
"On the tenth anniversary of the Disability Equality Index,
we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international
companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress
towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to
follow. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only
attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates
sustainable performance in today's global market. Together, we are
creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive,” said
Jill Houghton, president and CEO of Disability:IN.
