Reed Smith’s diversity and inclusion program has received yet another accolade: The National Organization on Disability (NOD) named Reed Smith a 2019 NOD Leading Disability Employer.

The firm credits this success to its business inclusion group (LEADRS – Looking for Excellence and Advancement of persons with Disabilities at Reed Smith), whose mission is to advance persons with disabilities within our firm.

In an NOD video, Chief Operating Officer Nicholas Bagiatis said: “At Reed Smith, we seek out the best possible talent, and this includes individuals with disabilities.”

The NOD Leading Disability Employer seal is awarded based on data furnished by companies in response to the NOD Disability Employment Tracker™, a free and confidential assessment that benchmarks companies’ disability inclusion programs in the following areas:

  • Climate & Culture
  • People Practices
  • Talent Sourcing
  • Workplace & Technology
