Award Recognizes the Company’s Commitment to
Fostering an Equitable Workplace
Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), a Trusted Payments and Business Technology™
company, has earned a top score on the Disability Equality Index®
(DEI) and has been named a 2022 Best Place to Work for People with
Disabilities.
Launched in 2015, the DEI is acknowledged today as one of the
most robust disability inclusion assessment tools in business. The
index, which is designed to advance the inclusion of people with
disabilities, is a joint initiative of the American Association of
People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability
rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business
disability inclusion network.
The DEI assesses a broad range of an organization’s inclusion
efforts, from leadership and culture to employment practices and
supplier diversity. Each company that participates in the DEI is
rated across these categories and receives a score on a scale of 0
to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as “Best Places
to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Deluxe received a score of 100
and was named a Best Place to Work for the third year in a row.
“We’re committed to creating a culture where people can bring
their authentic selves to work every day,” said Develle Turner,
Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Manager at Deluxe. “Deluxe has
made significant strides in all areas of our business—from
recruiting to benefits to accommodation practices to community
outreach—to advance inclusion and positively impact our team
members, customers, and community.”
In addition to its employment practices, Deluxe continues to
educate and empower employees through programming and support.
Deluxe established eight employee-led resource groups with one
focused on awareness for visible and invisible disabilities. In
2021, Deluxe hosted a session with former Olympic athlete and
motivational speaker, Lex Gillette, which emphasized achieving
goals regardless of disability. And in 2021, Paralympic swimmer
Jessica Long shared her inspirational journey with a group of
Deluxe employees and customers.
"There is no single best way to practice disability inclusion,
however, the companies taking the DEI share the desire to create a
workplace that fosters the concept of bringing your whole self to
the office," said Maria Town, President and CEO of AAPD. "We look
forward to working with all of the participants to help identify
meaningful ways to build upon their current practices as we
continue on the disability inclusion journey together."
