At Be Equitable, we imagine a workplace where everyone, regardless of ability, has the tools and environment to thrive. Disability inclusion is more than accessibility; it's about equity. ? ?? Did You Know? Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults have some form of disability, yet only 29% of working-age people with disabilities are employed (CDC, Bureau of Labor Statistics). When organizations prioritize accessibility and accommodate unique needs, employee engagement and retention can increase by up to 90% (Accenture, Getting to Equal). ? As Disability Employee Awareness Month comes to a close, we wanted to share some key strategies for making your organization more inclusive and accessible. #Accessibility #InclusionMatters #Equity #DisabilityAwareness #Accomodations
