Celebrating 80 Years of National Disability Employment Awareness Month
This October marks the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) has announced this year’s theme: “Celebrating Value and Talent.”
The theme underscores the vital contributions that workers with disabilities bring to the nation’s workplaces and economy — highlighting their talent, resilience, and achievements, both past and present.
SHRM has been a proud strategic partner to ODEP for nearly 20 years and remains committed to increasing and expanding employment opportunities for people with disabilities, both through the SHRM Foundation’s untapped talent pools initiative and as a founding member of the CEO Commission for Disability Employment.
Stay tuned for resources and ideas on how to recognize and celebrate NDEAM in your workplace this October.
