WPS named ‘Best Place to Work’ by Disability Equality Index^®

MADISON, Wis.—July 16, 2024—WPS Health Solutions has achieved a top score on the Disability Equality Index^®, the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 scope companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organization. A top score means an organization received a score of 80, 90, or 100 on a 100-point scale. This year, WPS received a score of 100!

“While a score of 100 does not convey perfection, it means are we implementing many of the forward-thinking disability inclusion practices suggested through the index,” WPS Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faatima Khan said. “That said, this is the result of years of collaborative work and is a big step forward in WPS’ DEI journey.”

Earlier this year, WPS submitted the Disability Equality Index benchmarking survey, which was launched in 2015 by Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). This tool has become the gold standard for assessing corporate disability inclusion efforts. This year, 542 corporations, including 71 Fortune 100 and 220 Fortune 500 companies, participated. 

Scoring 80 or higher on this rigorous assessment earns the designation of “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” WPS’ top score reflects a comprehensive approach to inclusion, encompassing everything from recruitment and retention to accommodations and community engagement.

Last year’s festival featured 621 registered concerts at 196 locations presenting music by over 1,500 individual artists. We exceeded our goal of 500 shows and were thrilled to learn Madison had the highest number of events of any chapter in North America. Make Music Madison 2023 received international attention and equaled the scale of last year’s Make Music Day celebration in Berlin, Germany, a city approximately 13x Madison’s size. In 2024, Make Music Madison organizers hope to surpass 700 registered shows! Registration to perform or host a performance opened April 1st. Interested parties can learn more at www.makemusicmadison.org.

Make Music Madison welcomes performers of all genres and experience levels. The organization aims to engage every sector of Madison’s music industry and provide our community with free and accessible music, while encouraging the public to support local artists, and invest in the creative economy.

Each year the event fills the city with music from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at venues hosted at community centers, museums, retail shops, restaurants, parks, theaters, places of worship, private residences, and other locations. Anyone can perform or host a performance, but events must be within the City of Madison, free, accessible to the public, and maintain space on sidewalks for pedestrians.

Make Music Madison is part of Make Music Day, an international music celebration occurring in 1,000+ cities across the globe. Beginning in 1982 in Paris as Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day brings our community together to celebrate the magic of live music. All varieties of live sound creation are welcome, and our motto is “Performed by anyone, enjoyed by everyone.”

There are more than 20 other Make Music Day chapters across Wisconsin.

“Every music superstar is a local hero somewhere, and many of them are searching for audiences and opportunities to perform live. Musicians and music appreciators are vital to the culture of a society, and this holiday honors and amplifies the importance of live music.” says Make Music Madison Board Secretary Kristian Petrov Iliev.

Make Music Madison is also welcoming a new Musician-in-Residence to the team, singer-songwriter Tzêra. Originally from Puerto Rico, Tzêra is a self-taught guitarist whose upbringing in the Caribbean immersed her in an eclectic fusion of rhythmic genres, such as Salsa, Latin Jazz, Reggaetón, and R&B. Accompanying her soulful voice with her mellow guitar, her performances include autobiographical unreleased tracks and covers from artists such as Cultura Profética, Amy Winehouse, and Nathy Peluso.

Registration opened April 1st and closes on June 1st. There are no registration fees or limits to the number of musicians or locations who can participate. Sponsors and volunteers are welcome. For complete details on Make Music Madison, visit www.makemusicmadison.org.
