The STEPS Equity Employer Group rewards and acknowledges employers who provide opportunities to people with disabilities.

The reasons are clear. STEPS’ vision is to enhance our communities. Communities that are diverse, inclusive and encourage equity are healthy communities; and the business sector plays an important role.

Many employers who have consistently employed or worked with people with a disability already know the many benefits, but STEPS believes these employers also need to be recognised.

Through the Equity Employer Group, STEPS seeks to give public recognition to such organisations, and at the same time promote the cause of empowering all people within society to maximise their potential.

Becoming an Equity Employer will:

• Give you the opportunity to promote your organisation/business as being a leader in social inclusion
• Allow unlimited use of “Equity Employer” logo on all marketing materials and on premises
• Give you opportunities to attend networking functions with other Equity Employers
• Open possibilities of receiving media coverage associated with the Equity Employer brand, and events held to promote the STEPS Equity Employer Group.
