Inclusion Policy

Equal Opportunities for All People

MyCIL’s Policy of Inclusion

At MyCIL (Northeast PA Center for Independent Living), we strongly believe in providing equal opportunities for all people. We also strongly believe in advancing the opportunities for people with disabilities.

We take action to ensure qualified people with disabilities become members of our team — and we consider them for promotional opportunities. When our team members grow professionally, our organization advances as a whole.

Not only for people with disabilities, we also take affirmative action to ensure all minority groups get the equal consideration and opportunities they deserve. That includes females, veterans with disabilities and recently separated veterans.

Key to Inclusion

Diversity

Key to MyCIL’s inclusion policy is creating a diverse team of talented people. We know when people of different abilities, viewpoints, talents and backgrounds come together, innovation and growth occur.

MyCIL is an equal opportunity employer. Regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, marital status — or any other status the law protects — we give qualified people opportunities to join our team and advance their careers.

Helping Others Develop Sensitivity and Respect

Disability Awareness Training

MyCIL offers disability awareness training to our employees. When you have a better understanding of what it’s like to have a disability, you can show sensitivity and respect. We provide this training to help people of all abilities better communicate with each other.

Our disability awareness training is available for your organization too. Learn more about how you can schedule disability awareness training for your team.

A Work Culture of Acceptance and Respect

Our Open and Accepting Environment

At MyCIL, we value and respect everyone. Our diverse team of talented, passionate professionals is the heart of our organization. We have created a work environment where everyone can be themselves and reach their fullest potential.

We don’t tolerate discriminatory harassment in any shape or form. That’s why we’ve created a reporting system that provides multiple ways to report. With this reporting system, our employees have the option to report any harassment to the MyCIL representative they are most comfortable with.

MyCIL takes these claims seriously. We investigate every claim and take action quickly. We want our employees to feel comfortable and safe at MyCIL. We take great measures to ensure they do.

Giving Our Employees the Resources They Need to Succeed

Providing Ongoing Support

MyCIL is committed to providing our employees with disabilities a comfortable work environment. From accessible work areas to flexible scheduling, we take steps to ensure our employees have what they need to be productive and successful in their role at MyCIL.

MyCIL is proud to comply with all federal and state laws regarding employment of people with disabilities. This includes The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAAA). We strictly follow the guidance the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued.
