Fully Integrated Resort Recognized for Exemplary Dedication, Inclusivity, Equality and Access to Good Jobs for Individuals with Disabilities
Resorts World Catskills (RWC) was honored today at Sullivan County Center for Workforce Development National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) event for exemplary dedication, inclusivity, equality and access to good jobs for area individuals with disabilities. RWC was selected as a recipient of this year’s Sullivan County Workforce Round Table NDEAM Award and presented with a certificate.
“Resorts World Catskills and our properties throughout the state are dedicated to creating job opportunities for all New Yorkers, especially those who may be at a disadvantage,” said Meghan Taylor, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Relations. “We are especially proud of our role as an economic engine here in Sullivan County, providing those with disabilities the opportunity to build a good career. Thank you to Sullivan County Center for Workforce Development for this esteemed honor.”
Held at the Sullivan County Government Center this morning, the event recognized NDEAM as an opportunity for job seekers and employers alike to engage and learn the benefits of employing those with disabilities. Studies have shown turnover can be costly and that employees with disabilities stay at jobs longer, reducing the time and cost involved in recruiting, hiring, and training new employees. RWC understands that hiring people with disabilities has benefits far beyond monetary returns. Doing so also conveys and promotes the important traits of an inclusive work environment characterized by empathy, respect, and belonging.
RWC has been recognized as one of New York State’s go-to casinos, recently taking home seven 2023 Best in Gaming Awards from Casino Player Magazine. Opened in 2018, RWC has become a destination far beyond its gaming floor. Several venues within the resort have played home to concerts, comedy shows, banquets, conventions, and private events. These have been a draw to out-of-town gamers and vacationers as well as the Sullivan County community. Such a commitment to high-quality entertainment carries on the tradition of the “Borsch Belt,” when Sullivan and neighboring counties bustled with vacationers from the 1940s through 1970s. That tradition will only get stronger again as RWC recently wrapped up a $40 million renovation of the Monster golf course – the sprawling 18-hole course re-designed by the legendary Rees Jones.
