All day: National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
All day October 1, 2024
Each October, during National Disability Employment Awareness Month, or “NDEAM,” we celebrate the value and talent workers with disabilities add to America’s workplaces and economy. NDEAM’s purpose is to confirm our commitment to ensuring disabled workers have access to good jobs, every month of every year. That’s the spirit behind this year’s official theme: “Access to Good Jobs for All.”
NDEAM is an opportune time for employers to review company policies to ensure they convey a commitment to an inclusive workplace culture.
