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.
