Dow Earns Leading Disability Employer Seal for 8th Year


11/15/2024


Dow has once again been recognized with the Leading Disability Employer Seal by the National Organization on Disability (NOD), marking the eighth consecutive year of this achievement. This distinction highlights the pivotal role played by companies in advancing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. It acknowledges organizations that emphasize diversity, equity, and accessibility, serving as role models for others to emulate. 
 
The award is based on the NOD Employment Tracker™, a detailed assessment tool that evaluates critical business practices related to the hiring, retention, and advancement of employees with disabilities. Companies earn points for implementing impactful practices and for the representation of individuals with disabilities in their workforce. Dow received high marks for its comprehensive strategy, practices, and performance in disability employment. 
 
“We are honored to receive this recognition for the eighth year in a row,” said John Sampson, executive sponsor of Dow’s Disability Employee Network and senior vice president of Operations, Manufacturing, and Engineering. “Being named a Leading Disability Employer reflects our dedication to building a workplace that champions inclusion, equitable opportunities, and accessibility.” 
 
Dow’s commitment extends beyond its HR policies and talent acquisition efforts. The Disability Employee Network (DEN), an employee resource group, focuses on empowering individuals with disabilities and raising awareness to foster allyship and understanding. 
 
Beth Sirull, CEO and president of the National Organization on Disability, praised Dow’s efforts: “We deeply appreciate Dow’s unwavering commitment to disability inclusion. Diversity drives innovation and growth, and Dow exemplifies this by creating meaningful career opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”
