American Family Insurance has been named to the CAREERS & the disABLED magazine’s 2023 Top 50 Employers list of companies that create a positive working environment for people with disabilities.
American Family was ranked 28 out of 50 for the 32nd annual list. Readers of the magazine selected the top companies in the country for which they would most prefer to work. The list of the “Top 50 Employers” is featured in the Winter 2022-23 edition of CAREERS & the disABLED magazine.
“We are committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive environment for people of all abilities,” said Gregory Stinyard, diversity and inclusion director, who helps lead the company’s DEI efforts, and oversees the business resource groups. “Each employee has different needs, and we want to accommodate and nurture them so they can reach their full potential.”
According to U.S. Census data, 12.7% of Americans have some form of visible or invisible disability. Invisible disabilities are not immediately apparent and are typically chronic illnesses or conditions that significantly impair daily living.
American Family recognizes that one form of invisible disability is neurodivergence, which refers to diversity in the human brain and cognition. While some neurodivergent characteristics present challenges in traditional work or educational settings, these individuals also have unique strengths that can improve company performance.
