Disability CRG’s Purpose
Pfizer is committed to being a leading global disability inclusion employer, working to support current and future colleagues. The mission of our Disability CRG is to change lives by providing opportunities, support, and community for colleagues with disabilities and caregivers. We work together to foster an inclusive environment where all colleagues not only feel welcome, but where they can make a difference. Because we know that colleagues with disabilities have a lot to offer, and that enabling them to bring their best selves to work everyday benefits everyone.
Disability’s Executive sponsor is Andrew Baum.
In Our Own Words
Our colleague resource groups create an open, encouraging environment where everyone can be their authentic selves and everyone has a forum to use their voice. We asked members of the Disability Colleague Resource Group “What is one word that you affiliate with the Disability Colleague Resource Group CRG and your community?” Here’s what they told us.
A Few Words About Disability
“Disability inclusion can only happen if the disability community has a seat at the table. The Disability CRG has been instrumental in driving and evolving the company’s disability inclusion strategy. I am proud of their efforts to give the disability community a voice and create an environment where everyone is supported and thrives.”
