Principal Financial Group® today announced it has been recognized as a World’s Top Disability Inclusive Business based on its performance on the Disability Index®, the leading global benchmark for disability inclusion in business.
This recognition highlights how Principal fosters a workplace where employees of all abilities can grow, contribute their talents, and help drive business performance.
“This achievement reflects our commitment to creating an environment where every employee can thrive and contribute at their highest potential,” said Bradley Wagner, chief inclusion officer at Principal. “By fostering accessibility and inclusion across the employee experience, we create opportunities for employees to succeed while delivering value for customers, shareholders, and communities.”
The Disability Index is used by organizations around the world to evaluate and benchmark disability inclusion across areas, including culture and leadership, accessibility, employment practices, community engagement, and supplier inclusion.
