Bottom line

“For P&G, hiring people with disabilities has been so much more than a Diversity and Inclusion effort. It’s part of our success which comes from clarity around what we want to achieve. Throughout our process we have discovered that Disability Inclusion is a great strategy to tap into new resources to fill open positions. In our experience employees with disabilities are dedicated, perform well, and their presence not only positively contributes to the organization but also to our reputation in the community as a great place to work.”
