2019 marks the first year Nielsen has earned the top 100% score on the Disability Equality Index (DEI) and our fifth year recognized as “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” The DEI, a joint effort of Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), measures the sustainable progress participating companies have made toward achieving equality and inclusion for associates with disabilities on the basis of workplace culture, leadership, accessibility, employment, community engagement, support services and supplier diversity.
在连续几年获得 90% 的高分后，7 月 17 日在芝加哥举行的 Disability:IN 会议上公布的这一新的最高分证明了我们在全球残疾人多样性和包容性方面取得的长足进步。现在，我们与几家知名公司并肩获得了令人羡慕的 100% 高分，其中许多公司我们过去都有过合作。
Nielsen strives to extend its commitment to disability inclusion and accessibility throughout the organization. Our employee resource group, Abled and Disabled Employees Partnering Together (ADEPT), has been instrumental to our recognition on the DEI list and continues to make a positive global impact for our associates of differing abilities across the company. For example, this past year, ADEPT created #MyStory, a digital campaign that encouraged associates to share their stories around personal disabilities to generate an open conversation. One story at a time, associates sought to change perceptions and remove stigmas, enabling a safe space for all associates.
Throughout the year, ADEPT offered streamed webinars to associates across the country to bring awareness and build an open forum to discuss mental health and occupational stress. ADEPT also shed light and fostered discussions on neurodiversity through events at Nielsen’s Global Technology and Innovation Center in Tampa, our largest office in the world. In one of our notable events, ADEPT leads collaborated with the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health to bring in an expert that gave employees an overview of working with professionals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and tips on how to help our associates thrive in the workplace by feeling supported.
我们致力于打造一家与众不同的公司，在这里，每个人都受到欢迎，包容是我们工作的核心，这对我们的员工和社区都至关重要。为支持马里兰州特奥会极地暴跌活动，ADEPT 员工冒着切萨皮克湾的严寒，为马里兰州特奥会的参赛选手筹集了 5,000 多美元。募集到的资金为残障运动员提供了长达一年的训练机会、健康和融入计划。
尼尔森认识到，我们的合作伙伴是我们成功的关键，创造一个包容性的环境有助于增强我们作为一家公司的实力。今年，ADEPT 的领导者与全国盲人联合会合作，为我们的色盲员工重新设计了尼尔森的桌面屏幕。
我们的每一项工作都是员工献计献策的直接结果，然后我们利用各种渠道将其表达出来。
"多元化与包容性高级副总裁娜塔莎-米勒-威廉姆斯（Natasha Miller Williams）说："具有不同能力的员工为工作场所带来了不同的视角，在这里，每个人的想法都能被倾听，每个人都有成功的机会。"我们不仅开启了对话，还采取行动为员工提供最具包容性的环境。我们所有人都有责任在我们的社区内创造一种包容性的文化。
