U.S. Bank Named One of the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion

U.S. Bank scored 100 on the Disability Equality Index (DEI) and has been named a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN. This is the second time U.S. Bank has been recognized for its efforts to ensure an inclusive workplace for people with disabilities.

“When we hire employees who bring diverse perspectives and abilities to the table, we become a better company,” said Andy Cecere, chairman, president and CEO. “We’re proud to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work by the Disability Equality Index, thanks to the great work our employees are doing every day to ensure colleagues with disabilities are included, empowered and valued at U.S. Bank.”

“We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their personal best,” says Ismat Aziz, chief human resources officer. “We’re passionate about fostering a culture that supports employees’ unique needs so they can feel comfortable and accepted for who they are and the contributions they bring to the business.”

U.S. Bank encourages employees to join their Disability Business Resource Group (BRG). Through the BRG, employees with disabilities, as well as any other interested employees, can help foster a diverse, inclusive workplace by providing direct input on business initiatives, supporting recruitment efforts, volunteering in the community, celebrating culture and community and hosting development opportunities for employees.

U.S. Bank also supports employees with disabilities and employees who are family members of those with disabilities through:

• Panel discussions and in-person speakers on disability-focused issues.
• Top-down support of initiatives, including our Disability BRG, from senior executives.
• Hiring partnerships with community organizations to increase work opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
• Employee benefits and programs to support caregivers of children, partners, spouses or parents with disabilities.
• Our membership in the Autism @ Work Employer Roundtable, through which we work with other leading companies to advance opportunities for individuals on the Autism spectrum.
