International Game Technology announced that it earned a top score in the 2024 Disability Equality Index and was named a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the second consecutive year in the US and the first time in the UK. In 2024, IGT received a score of 100 and was one of 542 corporations that utilised the Disability Equality Index to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts.

Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 scope companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organisation and to assess performance across industry sectors. In assessing IGT, the Disability Equality Index measured culture and leadership; enterprise-wide access; employment practices including benefits, recruitment, employment, education, retention, advancement and accommodations; community engagement; supplier diversity; and responsible procurement (non-weighted).

“Earning the ‘Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion’ distinction by the Disability Equality Index reflects IGT’s commitment to creating a fair and inclusive culture where our global employees feel welcomed and can succeed in their careers. IGT strives to advance its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for all employees, and values important benchmarking programs such as the Disability Equality Index that help us track progress, celebrate achievements and identify growth opportunities,” said Dorothy Costa, IGT Senior Vice President, People & Transformation.

“On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today’s global market. Together, we are creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.

Since IGT’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was established in 2018, the Company has implemented a range of programmes, policy and systems changes and leading practices that have promoted all dimensions of diversity to make it a more attractive and inclusive employer for people with disabilities. These actions include:

  • Implementing more inclusive and equitable hiring processes.
  • Offering benefits to accommodate visible and invisible disabilities.
  • Committing to work with and provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
  • Establishing and supporting SuperAbilities at IGT, an employee-led and executive-sponsored employee impact group.
  • Facilitating mandatory and elective employee training courses that help support IGT’s diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability and anti-harassment commitments.

Whether you’re the life of the party, the master of cringe, or the ultimate fan favorite, we want you to take the stage. And this isn’t just about winning – it’s about bringing your unique self to the community and making your mark. Here’s a peek at some of our main categories:

  • Most hilarious reaction to a win. The kind of reactions that make everyone feel the joy. 
    • Most bright reaction to a lose. It’s all about rolling with the punches, showing positivity, and making even the losses fun.
  • Coolest background. Flex your style with the most creative backgrounds – virtual or real!
  • Craziest outfit. Wild looks, eye-popping costumes, and unforgettable streaming style.
