OUR SHARED IMPERATIVE

SHRM and the SHRM Foundation have joined forces with the Delivering Jobs Coalition to bring awareness to the value people with autism, intellectual, and/or developmental differences bring to the workplace. Together, we are challenging employers and the public to cultivate inclusive workplaces and communities for this talented community—with the goal of creating pathways to 1 million jobs and leadership opportunities by 2025.

OUR APPROACH

As the leading organizations that focus on the continuum of support and services for people with intellectual and/or developmental differences, Autism Speaks, Best Buddies, and Special Olympics are tapping into their shared expertise to offer resources for both employers and job seekers/leaders.

SHRM and SHRM Foundation—the leading voices on all things work—compliment this coalition by providing a direct connection to the workplace through their membership network of 300,000+ HR professionals and business executives through its Employing Abilities at Work initiative.
