Disability inclusion is a fundamental part of any serious commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Yet, amid increasing attacks on DEI, accessibility often gets overlooked in the conversation. Ensuring that workplaces are designed to be inclusive of disabled employees isn’t just about compliance—it’s about fostering an environment where all employees can thrive. From accessible technology to workplace accommodations and inclusive hiring practices, companies must remain steadfast in prioritizing accessibility, no matter the political climate. Employees with disabilities contribute immense talent, innovation, and perspective, and businesses that invest in accessibility benefit from a more engaged, productive, and diverse workforce. Let’s be clear: Inclusion must include everyone. Companies that stay true to their DEI commitments must actively ensure that disability inclusion remains central to their strategy. https://lnkd.in/eRBeVSSC #AccessibilityMatters #DEI #DisabilityInclusion #InclusiveWorkplaces #Accessibility #ADA
