The readers of CAREERS & the disABLED Magazine selected the top companies in the country for which they would most prefer to work for or believe provide a positive working environment for people with disabilities.

“We are honored to be named a Top 50 employer for people with disabilities and are proud of our continuous efforts to advance awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities at Aramark,” said Fenimore Fisher, Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Aramark. “People are at the cornerstone of everything we do. When employees feel good about their work and their company, they bring their best. That’s why treating our people fairly with respect is our top priority and creating a welcoming and inclusive culture for all employees is so important.”

As reported in its 2022 Be Well. Do Well. Progress Report, Aramark continues to make progress on its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. These efforts are guided by thousands of employees, in eleven employee resource groups (ERGs), including Aramark Thrive, which is dedicated to the interest of team members who self-identify as having a disability and for caretakers and advocates of those with disabilities.

Thrive members are active year-round, supporting disability organizations such as Special Olympics, Wounded Warrior Project, Drexel Autism Institute, and many others. Last week, Aramark employees and Thrive members were #FreezinForAReason, as they participated in Special Olympics Polar Plunges around the country, playing a vital role in ensuring that children and adults with intellectual disabilities continue to benefit from no-cost participation in life-changing sports, health, education, and leadership programs. Aramark Thrive also recently partnered with the Drexel Autism Institute during Disability Employment Awareness Month to offer career opportunities to people with disabilities.
