The ten winning companies were selected after a national nomination process. A panel of experts in the field of disability and employment chose these ten companies-ranging from large corporations to locally-owned stores--based on the company's commitment to creating and supporting employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The owners of these businesses know that employees with disabilities are an asset. Studies have shown that people with disabilities show higher levels of dedication to their jobs and their employers.
