This marks the second time U. S. Steel received the 鈥淏est Places to Work for Disability Inclusion鈥 designation, which is reserved for those companies which score 80 or higher on the index. The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation鈥檚 largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to advance the inclusion of people with disabilities.

鈥淚nherent in our Best for Allstrategy is our commitment to a workplace that works for all,鈥 U. S. Steel Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer Barry Melnkovic said. 鈥淪ucceeding with our strategy naturally requires that we support and value the contributions of those who have disabilities and caregivers for those with disabilities.鈥

The DEI measures key performance indicators across culture, leadership, accessibility, employment practices, community engagement, support services and supplier diversity. The company offers inclusive policies and programs, including benefits related to parental leave, bereavement, and long- and short-term disability leave. The company鈥檚 SteelABILITY employee resource group has been instrumental in raising awareness of disability-related matters companywide and developing several of the actions U. S. Steel took to receive a top score of 100 this year.

"There is no single best way to practice disability inclusion. However, the companies taking the DEI share the desire to create a workplace that fosters the concept of bringing your whole self to the office," said Maria Town, President and CEO of AAPD. "We look forward to working with all of the participants to help identify meaningful ways to build upon their current practices as we continue on the disability inclusion journey together."
