Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Disability:IN: Leading nonprofit disability inclusion business network that runs the Disability Equality Index and corporate inclusion programs. Direct competitor and counterpart to Global Disability Inclusion in the disability inclusion strategy and benchmarking space, with a much larger member base and the DEI Index as their Amplify-equivalent.
• Lime Connect: Nonprofit connecting high-achieving students and professionals with disabilities to employer partners. Comparable to GDI's talent/employment programs and works with many of the same enterprise customers (including Fortune 500 brands).
• SourceAmerica: AbilityOne-affiliated nonprofit creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities through federal contracting and corporate partnerships. Comparable to GDI on the employer advisory and disability employment programming side, particularly for government-adjacent buyers.
• Bender Consulting Services: Disability-owned consulting firm focused on disability employment, talent placement, and corporate program development. Directly comparable to GDI's People & Processes and Advising Leaders offerings, serving many of the same Fortune 500 buyers.
• National Organization on Disability (NOD): Nonprofit that advises employers on disability hiring and inclusion strategy, including the leading corporate disability employment benchmark. Operates in the same disability inclusion strategy and employer advisory space as GDI, with a research/benchmarking model analogous to Amplify.
• The Viscardi Center: Nonprofit providing disability employment, school-to-work transition, and corporate inclusion services. Overlaps with GDI in employer-facing disability inclusion consulting and program design, though with more of a direct-service model.

Broad incumbents

• Paradigm Strategy: D&I and culture consultancy advising large enterprises on inclusion strategy and culture transformation. Competes with GDI for the same corporate buyer in the broader D&I space, with a wider portfolio (race, gender, LGBTQ+) but less disability specialization.
• Mercer (Diversity & Inclusion practice): Global HR consulting firm with a D&I practice that partners with GDI on Amplify but also competes in the broader D&I strategy space. A strategic partner and partial competitor with vastly greater scale and enterprise reach.

Emerging players

• EARN (Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion): Federally funded employer-focused resource network on disability inclusion, providing free policy and practice guidance to employers. A free public-sector peer in the same employer advisory category as GDI's People & Processes and Advising Leaders services.
• Job Accommodation Network (JAN): Free, US-government-funded consulting service that provides individualized accommodation solutions to employers and people with disabilities. A free-adjacent resource that competes for the same employer accommodation consulting work GDI performs, though without GDI's enterprise strategy positioning.
