Our people make us great. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina welcomes employees of all abilities to bring their talents to the company. We have more than 1,100 individuals who self-identify as working with a disability. This month we celebrate the value and talent these individuals bring to our workplace. We are proud to be recognized as a leading employee for people with disabilities by the Disability Equality Index, a benchmarking tool that measures disability inclusion policies and practices. It was created by Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) to promote transparency and accountability in the workplace. The index evaluates companies based on several criteria: culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment practices, community engagement, and supplier diversity. #NDEAM #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth
