May 2014 – The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the US Business Leadership Network (USBLN) have announced the release of an online “benchmarking tool” that rates a company’s effectiveness regarding implementations of policies that promote the inclusion of people with disabilities. The online tool, known formally as the Annual Disability Equality Index (DEI), was tested as a pilot in March 2014 with 48 Fortune 1000 companies. On June 26, 2014, AAPD and USBLN will be releasing survey questions about the DEI to the public in preparation for its first ever Annual DEI survey for Fortune 1000 companies. The survey will be available October 2014. Anyone interested in attending the public release for the DEI survey is required to register by June 19, 2014 at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DEI_Release.
