Let's hear it for Walgreens!!

NBC did a spotlight on a Walgreens Distribution Center in South Carolina. Over 40% of the employees at this workplace have a developmental disability. The best part, this distribution center is the most productive in the whole Walgreens chain. The work environment centers around inclusive practices, universal design and diversity. All the things we emphasize every day. It's great to see it put into practice in the work world. Another thing, other employers are now looking at this as a model site so they can replicate. Check out this link and view the videos. They are inspiring.

Hi. I've subscribed to your blog for a while, and I appreciate it!

I was delighted to read your reference to the Walgreen's story. Unfortunately, I can't find it when I follow your link. Perhaps I'm just missing the obvious, but I need help.

Thanks,

--Paul
