Description:

Celebrate differences and inspire action! Hiring for diversity is at the forefront of priorities for most employers, but did you know that the unemployment rate for persons with disabilities continues to be disproportionately high compared with persons without disabilities? Viasat representatives will share their experiences implementing a disability-focused workplace, how they have leveraged qualitative and quantitative data to move the needle, and how they have made changes that resulted in a Best Place to Work for Disability designation. Attendees will leave with real-time action steps that they can take as employees, leaders, recruiters, and job seekers to promote an inclusive culture.
