The RX Enabled Committee
The RX Enabled Committee is open to all colleagues around the globe, regardless of disability status, and is currently comprised of colleagues from France, UAE, UK, and USA. The group meets monthly and plans programming to help advance our disability inclusion goals. The primary focus of the group over the past year was to raise awareness and create safety around conversations related to disability and consulting the business around employee and customer policies and practices related to disability inclusion.
