Citrix Among Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion
July 20 2022 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced that for the
third straight year, it has been named to the Disability Equality
Index® Best Places to Work (DEI). A joint venture of Disability:IN
and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD),
the DEI exists to help businesses make a positive impact on the
unemployment/underemployment of people with disabilities and is
acknowledged as the most robust disability inclusion assessment
tool in business.
"There is no single best way to practice disability inclusion,
however, the companies taking the DEI share the desire to create a
workplace that fosters the concept of bringing your whole self to
the office," said Maria Town, President and CEO of AAPD.
In 2022, 415 corporations participated in the DEI and were
evaluated against the following criteria:
- Culture and Leadership
- Enterprise-Wide Access; Employment Practices (Benefits,
Recruitment, Employment, Education, Retention & Advancement,
Accommodations)
- Community Engagement
- Supplier Diversity
Businesses scoring 80 or higher were recognized as Best Places
to Work for Disability Inclusion.
“Disability inclusion is a rapidly expanding aspect of corporate
culture, and it’s gratifying to partner with so many companies on
the 2022 Disability Equality Index,” said Jill Houghton, President
and CEO of Disability:IN. “These top-scoring companies not only
excel in disability inclusion, many are also adopting emerging
trends and pioneering measures that can move the disability agenda
from accommodation to inclusion and ultimately, genuine
belonging."
And Citrix was among them.
“At Citrix, we are committed to cultivating a community of
belonging in which our employees can be and do their best,” said
Scott Ballina, Vice President, Diversity, Belonging and Giving,
Citrix. “Our diverse workforce spans multiple generations, speaks
more than 35 languages, and lives and operates in more than 40
countries, and we’re harnessing the power of intentional inclusion
to ensure that each employee feels welcomed, appreciated,
respected, heard, and empowered to innovate and grow. We are
pleased to be recognized by the DEI for our efforts and will
continue to evolve our programs to maintain a stand-out environment
that recognizes the power of human difference and provides
inclusive and equal opportunities for all people to succeed.”
