AGENDA 1. About Disability: IN 2. Disability Equality Index 3. The Business Case 4. Resources 28

ABOUT DISABILITY: IN We empower business to achieve disability inclusion & equality. Disability: IN is the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide. Our network of more than 180 corporations expands opportunities for people with disabilities across enterprises. Our organization and 35 Affiliates raise a collective voice of positive change for people with disabilities in business. 29

OPPORTUNITY Despite a strong labor market, just 29% of working-age Americans with disabilities participate in the labor market, vs. 75% of those without a disability. This means, there is an untapped talent pool of 10. 7 million people.

MAINTAINING RELEVANCY 33

DEI UPDATES – 2018/2019 Personality Profile Screening Tests If your business uses personality profile screening tests/instruments for any position as part of the employment screening process, do you allow applicants with disabilities the option to opt-out of the test as an accommodation? Supported employment Do you currently have any employees who utilize supported employment? Minimum wage Does your business pay all of your employees at least Local, State, or Federal minimum wage – whichever is highest? (NOTE: Answer “No” if you currently hold a 14 c certificate, even if you don’t currently pay any of your employees subminimum wage. 14 c certificates allow employers to pay workers with disabilities less than Federal minimum wage. 34

INSIGHTS FROM THE DEI – EXAMPLE 35

WHAT WE ASKED In a study by Accenture, conducted in partnership with Disability: IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), we set out to investigate: Do companies that include people with disabilities perform better financially? To find out, we took an in-depth look at companies participating in the Disability Equality Index (DEI) over the past four years. 36

WHAT WE FOUND Our research found a correlation does exist. Companies that embraced best practices for including people with disabilities also performed better financially – outperforming other companies in revenue, net income, and economic profit margins 37

DISABILITY INCLUSION & THE BOTTOM LINE Companies that are inclusive of persons with disabilities also see rewards in their bottom line. “Disability Inclusion Champions” – companies on the Disability Equality Index that raise the bar for disability employment and inclusion – have also seen greater financial returns compared to other companies in the sample. ON AVERAGE, DISABILITY INCLUSION CHAMPIONS ACHIEVED. . . 38

IMPACT 39 28% 2 x 30% Higher Revenue Higher Net Income Better performance on economic profit margin

IMPROVEMENT COUNTS Four times more likely to have total shareholder returns that outperform peers when compared to non-improvers. *See “Improvers” definition in notes section; all comparisons made over a 4 -year period (2015 -2018) 40

AT A LARGER SCALE If just one percent of unemployed persons with disabilities joined the U. S. labor force… The GDP could get a boost of up to $25 billion Source: Accenture Research analysis, derived by applying econometric models to public and proprietary data 41
