Procter & Gamble Marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2014

Procter & Gamble marks the National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October 2014 by highlighting the company's programs and achievements related to diversity and inclusion. According to the company, its People with Disabilities corporate advocacy group supports employees with disabilities and those who provide care to family members with disabilities. Diversity Inc Magazine recognized P&G for its inclusive achievements, due to PwD's efforts. PwD also helps the company in promoting diversity in P&G's manufacturing plants. For example, more than 40 percent of employees at the company's factory in Auburn, Maine, have some form of developmental or physical disability. On October 23 and 24, the company will host the first Deaf and Blind Symposium, a venue for leading Fortune 500 corporations to network and share best practices.
