July 13 2021 - 7:30AM
Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced that it has
again been named to the Disability Equality Index® (DEI) Best
Places to Work for Disability Inclusion. A joint initiative of
Disability:IN and the American Association of People with
Disabilities (AAPD), the DEI is the world’s most comprehensive
disability inclusion assessment and benchmarking tool in business
and exists to help companies make a positive impact on the
unemployment/underemployment of people with disabilities. Citrix
was first named to the DEI in 2019.
“The Disability Equality Index shines a spotlight on companies
that believe they have a stake in creating a more equitable society
for people with disabilities,” said Maria Town, President and CEO
of AAPD. “It is a conduit for our work championing disability
rights for the 60 million Americans with disabilities and knocking
down barriers to employment, technology and healthcare, and we're
thrilled to see the progress being made today.”
Over 300 corporations leveraged the DEI to benchmark their
disability inclusion efforts in 2021 using the following
criteria:
- Culture and leadership
- Enterprise-wide access
- Employment practices (benefits, recruitment, employment,
education, retention and advancement, accommodations)
- Community engagement
- Use of innovative technology to advance digital and remote
accessibility
- Mental wellness benefits
- Flexible work options
- Supplier diversity
Businesses scoring 80 or higher are recognized as “Best Places
to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Citrix received a score of
100.
“Part of corporate commitment to disability inclusion is
recognizing your stance and using it as an 'aha moment' to drive
the business investments needed to scale change. Inclusion and
accessibility cuts across the enterprise, from cultural
representation in the workforce, to technology acceleration, to
incorporating supply chain diversity,” said Jill Houghton,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Disability:IN “These are
tangible opportunities that leading companies can leverage to
create sustainable impact for their business and brand.”
And Citrix is taking full advantage of them.
“At Citrix, we understand the importance of creating a positive,
inclusive environment where people can be themselves and work
authentically, because when you build an ecosystem in which
employees have equal opportunities to make meaningful
contributions, you inspire creativity and innovation, which
ultimately leads to better solutions and services and happier
customers,” said Scott Ballina, Senior Director, Diversity and
Inclusion, Citrix. “We are working hard to create a better way to
work through the power of human difference, empowered by authentic
connections, and enabled by people-centered technologies, and are
pleased to be recognized by the DEI for our efforts.”
