The readers of CAREERS & the disABLED Magazine selected the
top companies in the country for which they would most prefer to
work for or believe provide a positive working environment for
people with disabilities.
“We are honored to be named a Top 50 employer for people with
disabilities and are proud of our continuous efforts to advance
awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities at Aramark,”
said Fenimore Fisher, Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion at Aramark. “People are at the cornerstone of everything
we do. When employees feel good about their work and their company,
they bring their best. That’s why treating our people fairly with
respect is our top priority and creating a welcoming and inclusive
culture for all employees is so important.”
As reported in its 2022 Be Well. Do Well. Progress Report,
Aramark continues to make progress on its diversity, equity, and
inclusion efforts. These efforts are guided by thousands of
employees, in eleven employee resource groups (ERGs), including
Aramark Thrive, which is dedicated to the interest of team members
who self-identify as having a disability and for caretakers and
advocates of those with disabilities.
Thrive members are active year-round, supporting disability
organizations such as Special Olympics, Wounded Warrior Project,
Drexel Autism Institute, and many others. Last week, Aramark
employees and Thrive members were #FreezinForAReason, as they
participated in Special Olympics Polar Plunges around the country,
playing a vital role in ensuring that children and adults with
intellectual disabilities continue to benefit from no-cost
participation in life-changing sports, health, education, and
leadership programs. Aramark Thrive also recently partnered with
the Drexel Autism Institute during Disability Employment Awareness
Month to offer career opportunities to people with
disabilities.
