LAS VEGAS, Oct. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The National
Organization on Disability (NOD) recently announced that MGM
Resorts International is among 59 organizations that have been
named a 2019 NOD Leading Disability Employer™. Now in its fourth
year, the NOD Leading Disability Employer Seal recognizes companies
that demonstrate exemplary employment practices for people with
disabilities.
This annual recognition is designed to applaud those
organizations that are leading the way in disability hiring and
encourage additional companies to tap into the many benefits of
hiring talent with disabilities, including strong consumer
preference for companies that employ individuals with disabilities
and greater employee engagement across the workforce.
"MGM Resorts has a diverse hiring legacy that spans more than 20
years and we continue to Focus on What Matters with our workforce,"
says Vice President of Community Engagement Tony Gladney. "As we enter National Disability
Employment Awareness Month in October, we reflect on our
accomplishments but also look toward opportunities to bring more
awareness to the value of our disabled community. We are excited
and proud to be recognized with this honor."
"These winning organizations understand that by welcoming people
with disabilities, they reap the benefits of a more productive and
engaged workforce," said NOD Chairman Governor Tom Ridge. "The preeminent challenge
before us is to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy full
opportunity for employment, enterprise and earnings, and that
employers know how to put their talents to work. We thank MGM
Resorts for their leadership and for their commitment to hiring
people with disabilities."
The winning organizations were announced at NOD's Corporate
Leadership Council Annual Forum, Shifting the Talent Paradigm:
Inclusive Culture for a Modern Workforce, hosted by lead sponsors
