Expanding employee horizons

Meet Marta Zając, a Junior Project Manager for Capgemini’s Cloud Infrastructure Services. 

Marta is based in Katowice, Poland. She says being open about her disability and her needs help create a more accessible and inclusive workplace.

“The great thing is that Capgemini puts a lot of effort into expanding employees’ horizons, sharing information and creating awareness around disability, alongside other topics such as how we can all be more eco-friendly and look after the environment," explains Marta. 

“The more we talk about and discuss something, the more aware people become. It means that if I need to point out a problem with accessibility, my colleagues can help sort things out. For example, I now have a special shelf in the office kitchen, just for me, which is on my level. It’s about consulting disabled people and being open to their suggestions. If you can run accessibility audits and conduct some training, even better," adds Marta.

A comprehensive benchmarking tool

The Disability Equality Index has become the leading independent, third-party resource for the annual benchmarking of corporate disability inclusion policies and programs, and is now trusted by more than 70% of the Fortune 100 and nearly half of the Fortune 500. Such companies must increasingly consider how emerging global reporting directives and stakeholder expectations surrounding social and corporate governance factors impact their operational, cultural, reputational, and financial performance. 

The Index is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.

The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organizations are complementary and bring unique strengths that make the project relevant and credible to corporations and the disability community. The Disability Equality Index Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, contributed to the development of the Disability Equality Index.
