CareSource passionately dedicates itself to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace, where individuals with disabilities at every level can flourish in their professional roles.
Erhardt Preitauer, President & CEO"At CareSource, our employees, members and providers of all abilities are what sets us apart. We believe building a diverse workforce makes us a stronger and more successful company. That's why we're working with external disability advocates and organizations, including The Harkin Institute for Public Policy and Citizen Engagement, to establish new standards to promote disabilities as a positive and natural part of the employment experience and to become a model employer for people with disabilities."
Mr. Preitauer is the 1st Vice Chair on the Easterseals' National Board of Directors. Easterseals is leading the way to full equity, inclusion and access through life-changing disability and community services.
In our relentless pursuit to promote disabilities as a positive and natural part of the employment experience, we actively engage and listen to our employees, key stakeholders and external disability advocates and organizations. The chart below shows the percentage of our employees with disabilities that agree with each Great Place To Work® statement.
Our heartfelt goal is to be a beacon: Illuminating the path to inclusivity; establishing new standards for best practice; and becoming a model employer for people with disabilities.
We work every day to achieve diverse representation in our workforce and to build an inclusive environment for all CareSource employees. Determined to attract, grow and retain employees with disabilities at every level, we have established partnerships with multiple organizations that support individuals with disabilities.
We introduce all new employees to CareSource’s DEI position, expectations, strategy and support systems as part of our onboarding process. We are developing and implementing a best-in-class approach to support individuals with all backgrounds and abilities by enhancing accessibility, benefits and accommodation processes, thus ensuring our employees have what they need to be successful.
To create and maintain an inclusive and accessible work environment where all our employees feel welcomed, respected and supported, we create and offer learning opportunities where everyone can actively participate and grow. We intentionally elevate our collective cultural competence and promote inclusivity through year-round learning opportunities, employee education, leadership training and volunteerism.
At CareSource, the difference is you! Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a safe space and community for underrepresented groups. Our Alliance for Disability Empowerment (ADE) and Mental Health Advocates (MHA) ERGs are employee communities for people with disabilities and employees who have an interest in promoting positive mental health.

We intentionally create physical spaces where our employees feel safe and supported by integrating key accessibility elements in our planning and design. Our efforts showcase CareSource’s dedication to creating an inclusive and accessible environment.
Learn more about our DEI Strategies.
Our dedication is fortified through our strategic partnership with The Harkin Institute for Public Policy and Citizen Engagement and our commitment to identify actions and strategies to build and foster a more inclusive workplace for employees with disabilities. This commitment is underscored through the establishment of our Employee-led DEI Action Committee, focused on disability inclusion, as well as our National Disability Inclusion Advisory Board, comprised of external leaders and advocates in disability inclusion.
In April 2024, as a way to provide ongoing guidance and support to our Disability Inclusion Action Committee and continue to mature our approach to disability inclusion, we established the CareSource National Disability Inclusion Advisory Board (NDIAB). Our NDIAB helps propel CareSource to be best-in-clas when it comes to disability inclusion by:
