Northwestern Mutual Earns Perfect Score On Disability Equality Index

Northwestern Mutual has earned a perfect score on the 2019 Disability Equality Index (DEI) survey – a national benchmarking survey administered by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the Disability:IN. The survey reports on corporate disability inclusion policies and practices.

“Building an inclusive environment is an everyday effort,” said Amy Hanneman, vice president of diversity and inclusion for Northwestern Mutual. “It’s something that requires continuous work. When we receive a higher score on an important cultural barometer like the Disability Equality Index, we celebrate our progress and use it as a reminder to continue to make our culture the best it can be for our incredible people.”

This is Northwestern Mutual’s first year earning a perfect score of 100 on the DEI. Last year, the company earned a score of 90.

Northwestern Mutual also recently earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index – its fifth consecutive year earning HRC’s top score. It was also recognized as one of 2019’s best employers for diversity by Forbes magazine.
