Supporting the disability community.

New York Life recognizes the disability community as a valued talent segment, and we’re dedicated to recruiting individuals who identify as having a disability and creating a culture of support and inclusion to grow and thrive. Key elements of these efforts include external partnerships as well as programming available through our ENABLE Employee Resource Group:

Inclusively 

Inclusively is a platform that connects job seekers with employers who are committed to attracting and retaining talented members of this community. In addition to posting open roles on the Inclusively platform, New York Life’s recruiters can source candidates directly.

“Inclusively allows candidates to find jobs within New York Life that align to their skills, while also fitting the type of accommodations they need to succeed in the role,” says Margaret Miranda, Senior Diversity Strategist and NYL-Vets member.

Inclusively also offers training on topics such as understanding accommodations, interviewing, ableism, understanding neurodiversity, and more.

Disability:IN 

Disability:IN is a global nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion. New York Life’s partnership with Disability:IN helps us recruit from the disability community through job boards and by developing more inclusive language for our job postings.

Throughout the year, including  National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October, our ENABLE Employee Resource Group hosts numerous events to celebrate and raise awareness throughout the company. This year’s special events included:

• A moderated conversation about community and mental health
• A panel discussion with three employees who discussed their experiences with disabilities
• A speaker who shared the story of her disability and how her journey from silence to disclosure impacted her personally and professionally
• A virtual walkathon to benefit Achilles International, a global organization that aims to transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection
