Diversity and inclusion has become a measure of performance on every corporate agenda. It has also become an important human resource issue, as talent scarcity drives HR leaders to explore untapped sources to expand their talent pools. A recent Accenture study shows that corporate America has yet to capitalize on the talents of more than 10 million people with disabilities. Their report also shows that, when companies adopt best practices for hiring people with disabilities, they outperform their peers among numerous financial metrics. Join Lenovo Chief Digital Officer Paul Walsh disability rights lawyer, author, and the first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, Haben Girma and social impact firm Flexability CEO Nancy Geenen together with moderator, Accenture West Regional Lead of Inclusion & Diversity Melissa Engelstad, for an inspiring and enlightening discussion. What is the way forward to realize the opportunities?
