Nine million U.S. employees have a disability, but the numbers are certainly higher. Disabilities aren't always obvious and some, like long-COVID or depression, may not be apparent to colleagues.

Joyce Bender, CEO at Bender Consulting Services, an international leader and advocate for disability employment will share insights and lead a panel discussion with members of Pittsburgh’s business and non-profit community. You’ll leave energized with actionable strategies that your organization can implement to strengthen employee engagement.

Topics we’ll cover:

  • Why disability inclusion in the workplace matters today
  • Strategies to support inclusive hiring practices
  • Actions that foster an inclusive culture and improve accessibility for employees and customers with disabilities
  • Examples of impactful benefit and wellbeing programs that can help support employees and caregivers
