Enabling Change.
Supporting disability inclusion goes beyond usual measures. When employees feel supported and included, they're more likely to talk about their disabilities, which increases loyalty, retention, and morale. Each year, the Pledge to Measure encourages leaders across Canada to create a workplace where all staff can succeed in a safe, inclusive environment, driving growth for the business and the community of people it supports.

About Pledge to Measure
The Pledge to Measure is a Canada-wide initiative to track and report the number of employees and leaders with disabilities in workplaces. Inclusion starts with transparency and increasing confidential disclosure rates. By measuring for disability inclusion, you can set benchmarks and track progress toward greater equity. Join today to make a measurable impact!

"For a disability peer-focused community service organization this was a fairly straightforward process.
As an organization serving people with disabilities, it is important for our workforce to reflect the people we serve. As such, we take pride in the fact that well over fifty percent of our staff are people with lived experience of the disabilities of those we serve. With this comes a responsibility to have staff policies and programs in place that support successful employment of people with disabilities, all of which support safe disclosure of disabilities by staff members."
