IGT Recognized for Disability Inclusion by 2024 Disability Equality Index

International Game Technology PLC (IGT) has been honored with a top score in the 2024 Disability Equality Index®, earning the title “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the second consecutive year in the U.S. and for the first time in the UK. In 2024, IGT received a score of 100 and was among 542 corporations that utilized the Disability Equality Index to evaluate their disability inclusion efforts.

Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 companies to measure disability workplace inclusion within their organizations and assess performance across industry sectors. IGT was assessed on criteria including culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment practices (benefits, recruitment, education, retention, advancement, and accommodations), community engagement, supplier diversity, and responsible procurement.

Since establishing its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in 2018, IGT has implemented a range of programs, policies, and systems changes to promote all dimensions of diversity, making it a more attractive and inclusive employer for people with disabilities. Key actions include:

  • Implementing inclusive and equitable hiring processes.
  • Offering benefits that accommodate visible and invisible disabilities.
  • Committing to work with and provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
  • Establishing and supporting SuperAbilities at IGT, an employee-led and executive-sponsored impact group.
  • Facilitating mandatory and elective training courses that support IGT’s diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability, and anti-harassment commitments.

“Earning the ‘Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion’ distinction by the Disability Equality Index reflects IGT’s commitment to creating a fair and inclusive culture where our global employees feel welcomed and can succeed in their careers,” said Dorothy Costa, IGT Senior Vice President, People & Transformation. “IGT strives to advance its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for all employees, and values important benchmarking programs such as the Disability Equality Index that help us track progress, celebrate achievements and identify growth opportunities.”

“On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today’s global market.
