Setting a New Standard: Walgreens Employees with Disabilities Achieving High Performance

Please to view member only content.

Through Randy’s vision of how diversity and inclusion could transform the company’s distribution centers and employment opportunities, today, Walgreen’s two most recent distribution centers employ an inclusive and integrated workforce composed 40% of persons with disabilities (PWD) who are held to the same work standards and earn the equal pay as “typically-abled” fellow workers. As a result of this success of serving both shareholders and the community, Walgreens has set a goal of employing 1,000 people with disabilities (approximately ten percent of the workforce) in its distribution centers by 2010.
