Siemens Healthineers recently earned a recognition on the 2025 Disability Index®, a leading national benchmark that measures corporate policies and practices related to disability inclusion and accessibility. The Disability Index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organization and to assess performance across industry sectors.
The company has been committed to creating an inclusive workplace that champions diversity in the ability of all its employees. Through its Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), the company offers the Healthineers Autism & Neuro-Diversity Support (HANDS) and Disability and Allies Employee Resource Group (ADAPT), two initiatives centred on conversations and opportunities to advance the empowerment of employees, regardless of their ability.
"As we release this year’s Disability Index report, we celebrate the continued progress made by businesses around the world. Today, hundreds of the world’s leading companies are using this tool to benchmark and drive their disability inclusion efforts. Together, we are creating a global economy accelerated by disability inclusion. " said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability: IN.
Sevket On, Managing Director for Siemens Healthineers in Canada, highlighted this accolade with great pride, “Achieving a score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index is more than a milestone—it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to building a workplace where everyone belongs. We are proud to be recognized as a leader in disability inclusion, and we remain dedicated to creating an environment where all individuals, regardless of ability, can thrive, contribute, and grow."
In addition to this achievement, Siemens Healthineers was recently recognized as one of the 2025 Best Workplaces for Inclusion by Great Place to Work, underscoring its unwavering commitment to sustain an inclusive and transformative workplace for all.
