Voya initiative promotes supportive benefits for employees with special needs

Published Updated 4 Min Read

Employees with disabilities and special needs often face unique roadblocks in their careers and financial lives, but there are strategies employers can take to better support, include and advocate for this community.

One in four Americans has a disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and one in five is a caregiver in the workplace. The planning and support needs for these employees are vast; from needing accommodations in the workplace to making sure the costs of caring for a child with disabilities don’t impact someone’s ability to retire.
