Disability Inclusion — A Priority at Centene
For Centene, providing a supportive and welcoming environment for people with disabilities has always been a priority. Named one of the “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion” by the Disability Equality Index for several years running, Centene is dedicated to maintaining a diverse workforce that accurately reflects the communities it serves.
This is a cause that Michael Neidorff, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, has championed since joining the company in 1996. During his tenure at Centene, Mr. Neidorff has continuously expanded diversity and inclusion principles throughout the enterprise. In 2020, he joined business leaders across the U.S. in signing the CEO Letter on Disability Inclusion as part of Disability:IN’s “Are You IN?” campaign, an initiative focused on further advancing inclusive practices for people with disabilities.
The same year, the National Organization on Disability gave Centene the Leading Disability Employer Seal for its efforts in mentoring and hiring employees with disabilities, and investing in key tools and resources to set them up for success. ABILITY, Centene’s voluntary, employee-led advocacy group, also helps support the attraction, development, and retention of talent at all levels.
