PPL Corporation announces it has received a top score of 100 percent on the 2023 Disability Equality Index, earning it the designation as one of the best places to work for people with disabilities.

The DEI is a joint initiative of Disability: IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities. It is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a road map of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. PPL’s commitment to creating an accommodating and inclusive environment for people with disabilities – in the workplace, the community and with business partners and suppliers – is being recognized for the fourth time by Disability: IN.

The DEI measures key performance indicators related to organizational culture, leadership, accessibility, employment, community engagement, support services and supplier diversity. PPL’s top score is a result of the tangible policies and practices it has put in place to promote the success of those with disabilities. This includes:

• Providing expanded mental health resources, guidance and counseling through the company’s Employee Assistance Plan to prioritize the well-being of its employees.

• Establishing a partnership with the Coalition for Workforce Diversity to provide employment opportunities to people with disabilities. The coalition represents potential workers with a broad spectrum of physical and mental disabilities, each with unique skills and personalities that contribute to a truly great workplace.

• Hosting an annual supplier diversity conference to further expand the diversity of the businesses that provide the company with products and services.

• Supporting employees through an active employee resource group, REACH, that is focused on identifying the needs of and providing resources to improve the effectiveness and well-being of differently-abled employees, their friends, families and the communities PPL serves.
