Did you know people with disabilities are the largest minority group in the United States?

This Disability Employment Awareness Month, we want to share steps employers can take to prioritize disability equity:

βœ”οΈ Take a look at your job listings. Ensure the postings are accessible, and consider whether job requirements (like the ability to 20 pounds) are truly necessary for the job.

βœ”οΈ Create an inclusive work environment. Ensure your office space is accessible, make reasonable accommodations, be open to employee feedback, and train your entire staff on disability awareness.

βœ”οΈ Provide comprehensive coverage. Also keep in mind coverage types that may be especially important for people with disabilities. For example, people with disabilities often struggle to get life insurance, so this can be a great employer offering.

By prioritizing disability equity, you can attract and retain top talent, improve employee morale/productivity, reduce your legal liability, and create a more welcoming workplace.

Share this post to raise awareness of disability equity in the workplace, and let us know in the comments what you’re doing to make your workplace more inclusive ⬇️.

Did you know one in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime? And even more will know or love someone fighting this destructive disease.

That’s why, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to raise awareness about this form of cancer. Take a look at a few key facts below:

πŸ’ One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

πŸ’ The average age of diagnosis is 62, but breast cancer can occur at any age.

πŸ’ Early detection is key to survival. When breast cancer is caught before it has spread to other areas of the body, the five-year relative survival rate is 99%.

πŸ’ As such, it's important to talk to your doctor about any risk factors and get regular mammograms once it’s recommended you do so.

πŸ’The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends women ages 50-74 with an average risk receive a mammogram every two years. Women ages 40 to 49 should talk with their doctor to determine when to start and frequency.

πŸ’ There are many effective treatments for breast cancer, and the survival rate has been steadily increasing in recent years.

Share this post to raise awareness about breast cancer, and remember to talk to your friends and family about the disease and encourage them to get screened.
