National Business & Disability Council (NBDC)

NBDC is the leading resource for employers seeking to integrate people with disabilities into the workplace and companies seeking to reach them in the consumer marketplace.

Mentoring

There are many types of support systems in place here – everything from business coaching to cultural mentoring.  Every new employee is provided a business coach.  This is someone in the new hire’s area of expertise who can help them in their career.

We have networks in place for people with disabilities that are dedicated to making your recruiting & on-boarding process as easy as possible.  This is in addition to “Beginnings”, our corporate on-boarding program.  A member of one of our People with Disabilities networks may contact you once you are offered a position with P&G.  Your network contact will play a much different “mentoring” role than your business coach.  S/he can provide information to help you make the right offer decision for you.  If you accept our offer, this person will help you & your family acclimate to P&G and the community.  Network contacts are volunteers who manage important businesses at P&G, but they know how important your questions & concerns are and want to assure they are answered.
