Old National Receives Top Score on Disability Workplace Inclusion
July 24 2024 - 4:49PM
(NASDAQ: ONB) – Old National Bancorp (“Old
National”) has received a top score of 100 on the Disability
Equality Index®, the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool
for Fortune 1000 scope companies to measure disability workplace
inclusion inside their organization and to assess performance
across industry sectors. Top-scoring businesses – scoring 80 or
higher – are recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability
Inclusion.”
“We are proud to again be top-rated on the Disability Equality
Index, which underscores Old National’s commitment to providing
opportunities for individuals with disabilities at all levels of
our organization,” said Jim Ryan, Old National Chairman and CEO.
“We have seen the evidence that championing inclusion – in all its
many forms – makes Old National even stronger and more
competitive.”
The Disability Equality Index requires 30-40 hours to complete
online each year and was launched in 2015 in the United States as a
joint initiative of Disability:IN and The American Association of
People with Disabilities (AAPD). It is acknowledged today as the
most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in operation.
Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index exists to
help businesses make a positive impact on the
unemployment/underemployment of people with disabilities, while
also helping companies create long-term value for employees and
shareholders.
"On the 10th 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,”
said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN. “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.”
In 2024, 542 corporations, including 71 Fortune 100 and 220
Fortune 500, utilized the Disability Equality Index to benchmark
their disability inclusion efforts. The 2024 Disability Equality
Index measured: Culture & Leadership; Enterprise-Wide Access;
Employment Practices (Benefits; Recruitment; Employment, Education,
Retention & Advancement; Accommodations); Community Engagement;
Supplier Diversity; and Responsible Procurement (Non-Weighted).
Globally, people with disabilities represent 1.3 billion
individuals. Disability is a natural part of the human experience,
and it crosses lines of age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity,
race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and other
demographics.
