Tennessee Businesses for the Better Interest Form

Our goal is to recognize Tennessee businesses that have taken steps toward being more inclusive in hiring and retaining employees with disabilities. We define inclusivity as an employee or customer feeling welcomed and/or supported which is universal to all individuals. In addition, we are identifying businesses that have taken steps to make those they serve whether clients, patients, or customers with disabilities feel welcomed, accepted, treated with dignity and respect.

If your business or company is already successful at embracing inclusivity, we’d like to interview you and showcase your business across the state. We will highlight your business either through a video or written feature and share it with our networks, including through our website and social media.

If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please answer the following questions. If any are inapplicable, simply indicate this as your answer to the question, e.g. “Inapplicable.”
