In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the nonprofit health plan was named a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Blue Shield of California has been named a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” on the 2025 Disability Index®, a recognition of the health plan’s ongoing commitment to advancing disability inclusion and cultivating a workplace where all employees can thrive.

“It is fitting that during National Disability Employment Awareness Month we reflect on our commitment to build a culture of belonging here at Blue Shield of California,” said Hope Scott, executive vice president, general counsel, and chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Council. “From launching our Disability Inclusion Alliance employee resource group in 2018 to investing in future generations through our BlueSky youth mental health initiative, we’re committed to fostering inclusion and well-being — both within our workforce and across the communities we serve.”

The Disability Index is the leading independent benchmarking tool for evaluating disability inclusion policies and programs in business. It assesses performance across six key areas: Culture and Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, Supplier Inclusion and Responsible Procurement. As a top-scoring organization, Blue Shield’s recognition highlights its steadfast commitment to placing accessibility and inclusion at the heart of its workplace culture.

“We’re honored to be recognized for the strides we’ve made to advance accessibility at Blue Shield,” said Mike Stuart, president and chief executive officer, Blue Shield of California. “As we work to build a healthcare system worthy of our family and friends, it’s equally important to create a workplace that reflects those same values, one that empowers the talented employees who drive our mission forward every day.
