Honored for fostering an inclusive work environment for differently abled employees.

(HANOVER, Md., July 30, 2024) – TEKsystems, a global provider of technology, business and talent solutions for more than 80% of the Fortune 500, announced it has been named as a top scorer in the 2024 Disability Equality Index® "Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion" by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN®.

TEKsystems has ranked on the index for six consecutive years, recognizing its commitment to creating an inclusive, equitable workplace where differently abled employees can flourish.

The Disability Equality Index was created through support from the Disability Equality Index Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts and disability advocates. Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index helps businesses support unemployed/underemployed individuals with disabilities, while also creating long-term value for employees and shareholders.

“Earning a top score on the Disability Equality Index reflects a strong dedication to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. It is an acknowledgment of our unwavering commitment to disability inclusion and equity,” said Franklin Reed, executive director of global inclusion, diversity and equity at TEKsystems.

Additionally, TEKsystems supports local charities and communities through its match assistance program and corporate partnerships with organizations such as the Association of University Centers on Disabilities, Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation and Foundation Fighting Blindness.

“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. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today's global market.
