Fannie Mae has been named one of the best places to work for disability inclusion as part of the 2020 Disability Equality Index (DEI). The DEI is the nation's most comprehensive annual benchmarking tool that allows America's leading corporations to self-report their disability policies and practices. The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN.
“At Fannie Mae, we foster a fearless culture of inclusion. We pride ourselves on empowering and embracing individuals on their terms,” said Nancy Jardini, SVP and Chief of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion, Fannie Mae. “Our workforce reflects the communities we serve across America. This recognition by the DEI is an honor and we will continue our work to be a leader in disability inclusion.”
“The Disability Equality Index top scoring companies represent those businesses that have invested in accessibility and inclusion across their enterprise. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ADA, it is wonderful to see the progress made by these companies, and we hope to see continued progress and support for the DEI over the next 30 years,” said Maria Town, President and CEO of AAPD.
