Move your company’s needle on culture, talent, and the bottom line.
NDEAM is the moment to move from awareness to advantage. Companies that level up disability inclusion are 4× more likely to outperform their peers, and leaders see 28% higher revenue, 2× the net income, and 30% higher margins. I recently met with a global tech company whose brand-new Disability ERG became the fastest-growing, highest-engagement group in year one—that’s what happens when you center real experience and give people tools to act.
A disability-forward approach delivers tangible business value.
~ Alycia Anderson
Disability-forward approaches help you attract and retain great people because employees stay where they’re seen, supported, and set up to contribute. It drives innovation and better products, as accessibility thinking surfaces edge cases that improve experiences for everyone—customers and colleagues alike. It strengthens compliance and reduces risk by addressing accessibility proactively instead of expensively retrofitting later. And it expands market reach and brand trust, earning loyalty from candidates, customers, and partners, while boosting cultural engagement with authentic, story-driven learning that sparks allyship, ERG momentum, and measurable behavior change.
