How Employers Benefit From the VOICE Ally Program

John and Wife Sammie Kemp

By making it easier for people with disabilities to speak up, organizations can foster environments where employees are more likely to request accommodations. When employees have the accommodations they need, employers gain:

  • Greater productivity
  • Improved morale
  • Reduced absenteeism
  • Lower turnover

When people with disabilities are “out and proud” in the workplace, organizations can also develop effective Disability Employee Resource Groups that inform and support recruitment, innovation, and marketing outreach to this important talent and customer segment.

What they're saying

  • “We engaged Deb to provide consulting support for our HR team inclusive of a variety of diversity and inclusion topics and events. Deb continues to be responsive to our needs, consistently offering helpful and practical tools and resources. One program that we are particularly proud of at Northrop Grumman, as an early adopter, is Deb’s disability ally ‘VOICE’ presentation. We videotaped Deb’s presentation, and it was webcasted across the enterprise to foster inclusion for people with disabilities, and enhance the likelihood that people with disabilities will self-identify and ask for accommodations if needed. I appreciated this innovative approach which draws on lessons learned from successful LGBT inclusion strategies.”
