Designing and implementing an accessibility strategy empowers your organization to hire persons with disabilities. Supporting accessibility is a strategic investment that can contribute to the inclusivity and productivity of an organization. Here are some possibilities to assist in implementing an accessibility strategy.
Control costs — and risks.
Research from the Job Accommodation Network found the costs and tax incentives associated with accessibility accommodations can be a win-win undertaking. Not only is hiring a capability diverse workforce a good investment, it also removes the risk of adverse selection or discrimination in hiring.
Enhance accessibility.
Not having the perspective of a capability diverse workforce can limit the talent and production outcomes of an organization. Having a solid and enhanced accessibility strategy allows HR to tap into a more qualified talent pool that might otherwise be overlooked. Persons with disabilities bring unique perspectives that can increase innovation, enhance workplace engagement and contribute to a healthier and diverse work culture.
Improved productivity.
Implementing a universal design strategy that is accessible to persons with disabilities can help employers achieve a work environment that results in non-disruptive hiring or the need to redesign workspaces. Having this strategy will improve productivity and diminish the need for reactionary adaptation or accommodations.
