💙 Have they gone above and beyond to support an employee with a disability?
💚 Do they recognize people's abilities and give everyone an opportunity to succeed?
💛 Have they made changes to help someone overcome barriers at work?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, we want to hear about them!

✅ Provide mentorship, training, and skill development.
✅ Help employees build confidence and independence.
✅ Create opportunities for advancement and growth.
✅ Partner with community organizations to support inclusive employment.
✅ Inspire other businesses to recognize the value of a diverse workforce.

Award Category #2: Barrier Breaker Award

Sometimes, creating opportunities means doing things differently.
The Barrier Breaker Award recognizes employers who have taken meaningful steps to remove barriers and create employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
These employers understand that a small change can make a BIG difference!

Maybe they've:
✅ Adapted a job or workplace to meet someone's needs.
✅ Introduced flexible scheduling or new ways of working.
✅ Removed accessibility barriers.
✅ Given someone an opportunity when others may have overlooked their abilities.
✅ Encouraged other businesses to embrace inclusion.
Breaking barriers isn't always about making big changes. Sometimes it's about being willing to try something new.
