IGT named 'Best place to work for disability inclusion' by 2024 Disability Equality Index

International Game Technology (IGT) has earned a top score in the 2024 Disability Equality Index (DEI) and has been named a 'Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion' for the second consecutive year in the United States and for the first time in the United Kingdom.

In 2024, IGT received a perfect score of 100 and was among 542 corporations utilizing the DEI to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts. The DEI is a comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 companies to measure disability workplace inclusion and assess performance across industry sectors. The index evaluates factors such as culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment practices, community engagement, supplier diversity, and responsible procurement.

"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."

Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN, said: "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. Together, we are creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive."
