This year\u2019s theme, \u201cWe Want a Life Like Yours,\u201d comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/thearc.org\/\">The Arc\u2019s National Council of Self-Advocates<\/a> and reflects the disability community\u2019s dreams for life experiences that they are too often denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As co-lead of Commvault\u2019s CapAbilities Employee Resource Group (ERG), I wanted to share my perspective on what this year\u2019s theme means to me and how we can honor and celebrate this community:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Start each day with a level of gratitude for the things I take for granted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Lean in and listen to the stories of others who have struggled with disabilities and discrimination and learn how to be the change I want to see in the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Teach my children to acknowledge and include those with disabilities. I\u2019m so proud to see my daughter living these values in her school and our local community \u2013 we see and hear how wonderful she is with the students in special education. We know this is partly because of the education we provide her, but also because of her amazing heart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">We are starting to build a hiring process and internal infrastructure to enable us to hire more individuals with disabilities and make the environment one where Vaulters can share their disability and be comfortable doing so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Here at Commvault, celebrating Disability Pride Month demonstrates our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as we recognize, support, and celebrate our Vaulters with disabilities. It is our CapAbilities ERG\u2019s mission to raise awareness and break down the bias of workplace issues that affect people with disabilities and\/or caregivers of those with a disability. It is equally important to be an ally to our disability community to create an environment where all our Vaulters feel valued and respected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/careers.commvault.com\/us\/en\/care\">Click here<\/a> to learn more about our DEI efforts at Commvault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commvault\u2019s CapAbilities ERG aims raise awareness and break down the bias of workplace issues that affect people with disabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":521329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_custom_css":"","_custom_js_footer":"","_page_background_color":"","_remove_from_search":false,"_dark_mode":false,"_light_footer_mode":false,"_sidebar_form":{"id":"","name":"","cta":"","redirect":""},"_alert_notification_bar":{"show":true,"bg_color":"","content":"","call_to_action_label":"","call_to_action_link":""},"_footer_cta":{"show":false,"title":"","subtitle":"","cta_text":"","cta_link":"","background":{"id":0,"url":""}},"_cmv_customer_logo":{"id":0,"url":""},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"i18n_hreflangs":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1552],"tags":[],"cmv_author":[842],"class_list":{"0":"post-521328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-disability-pride-month","8":"cmv_author-morgan-whyte","9":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.0) -
