Omnium Circus Earns Second Consecutive Title as 2023 Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability

In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the National Organization on Disability (NOD) is proud to announce and recognize the sixty-five 2023 Leading Disability Employers including Omnium Circus. In its ninth year, the NOD Leading Disability Employer Seal spotlights the transformative contributions made by business leaders in promoting employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. It also honors those organizations that prioritize diversity, equity and importantly, accessibility–setting a high standard for others to follow.

“Organizations like Omnium Circus understand that by harnessing the talents of people with disabilities, they reap the benefits of a more innovative, diverse and dedicated workforce,” said NOD President Carol Glazer. “The Leading Disability Employer Seal honors organizations who have not only embraced inclusivity, but have taken concrete steps to break down barriers for individuals with disabilities and create an environment for all to thrive.”

Leading Disability Employer Seal recipients are determined based on data provided by companies on the NOD Employment Tracker™. The Tracker is the only free assessment tool that helps companies understand which employment practices correlate to improved talent outcomes related to hiring, retention and advancement of people with disabilities.

This groundbreaking circus company assures access for all at every performance, demonstrating to audiences that everyone has the potential to achieve their own greatness regardless of their challenges (physical, emotional, neurological, or societal).

“We were thrilled to be recognized last year for this prestigious NOD Award, but to be recognized for a second consecutive year is not only an honor, but also a true testament to our continued commitment to inclusion in everything we do,” said Lisa B. Lewis, Founder & Executive Director of Omnium Circus. “Ours is a circus for all, and that includes the people who work here as well.”
