Episode 4
How do organizations that are truly committed to diversity create an environment of inclusion for people with disabilities? While disability intersects many other dimensions of diversity (economics, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) it is unique in that no one is considered exempt from becoming disabled. We are all “temporarily-able bodied” – at some point each of us will live with a temporary or permanent disability. How is disability a business issue? Is your organization one in which people with disabilities would choose to work and/or do business? Join Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein as they talk with Katherine McCary of SunTrust Bank whose contributions to the bank’s disability efforts have resulted in several awards and national recognition. She is also an “executive on loan” and President of the US Business Leadership Network, a national organization representing 5,000 businesses that promotes best disability employment and marketing practices and educates employers on the business imperative of disability.
