3 small ways businesses can create changes for women with disabilities:
“When it comes to their careers, many women find themselves in a bit of a bind. They’re trying to preserve their gains, so instead of playing to win, they’re often playing not to lose, whether hesitating to take perceived big risks or feeling the need to take outsized chances,” said Michele Meyer-Shipp, KPMG’s chief diversity officer.
While large corporations may understand the mechanics of setting up an ERG, many small and mid-size businesses don’t. Know the ground rules: It is important to note that they are organized with the approval of the company but exist outside of the organizational hierarchy. They receive support from the national diversity team and the chief diversity officer, who reports to the C-suite and board.
That may be arguable, critics say, but this is not: A report by the American Institutes of Research shows that people with disabilities are paid an average of 37% less on the dollar than people without disabilities. Even at the highest levels of a company, employees still earn less than their peers who are not identified as disabled. The pay gap actually widens as the level of education increasesUltimately, creating change is about how to protect human rights and banish implicit bias.
