From March 25 to May 13, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (DOL/ODEP) hosted the Advancing Disability Inclusion in Very Small Businesses national online dialogue. The online event gathered insights, experiences, and suggestions from a wide range of small business experts and interested members of the public—all designed to help DOL support small businesses with fewer than 50 employees in employing and retaining workers with disabilities, as well as disabled business owners and entrepreneurs. This report summarizes the dialogue process and metrics, highlighting key themes and takeaways gleaned from both the dialogue and companion X Fireside Chat.
