Last year, Stacy Masucci, a Publisher for Elsevier’s Bioscience & Translational Medicine books, wrote about the work Elsevier has done to hire diverse candidates from all over the world and our aims to be an employer of choice for individuals from all backgrounds, including those with disabilities:

When I was an Acquisitions Editor, so much of my position revolved around going to conferences and meeting new people. When I needed an accommodation, I called my manager, and she was wonderful. Her immediate reaction was, ‘What can I do to make this easier for you?’

I consider Elsevier one of the blessings in my life. During that time, I could not fulfill all the functions of my role, but Elsevier allowed me to work full-time from bed with voice-activated software and granted me a one-year travel hiatus. Elsevier had faith in my skills and the value I brought to the company and gave me the opportunity to get back to a healthy place. It was truly amazing.
