Paradigm Shift – Is there a B in your DEIA Plan?

We hear a lot today about how companies are embracing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) in their workplaces. This active effort gives us a lot of hope. It tells us that by and large, business leaders really want to do the right thing. The savviest among them realize that the strongest workforces reflect many abilities and strengths and people who bring a myriad of ways of thinking and approaches to challenges.

But we also know, despite the best intentions, the business world is rife with misunderstandings and a lack of education about how to make DEIA an intentional part of corporate culture.

Here at NSITE, we’re working with some great business leaders who truly are visionary and open-minded, seeking to embrace a new way of building a strong, well-rounded team of professionals where opportunity is universal within their culture. And we’re proud of the tools we’re putting in place to assist them in this endeavor that include our corporate awareness-raising initiative, Blindness, Equity and Inclusion (BEI).

Our program helps companies expand their definition of diversity and demonstrates the power – and benefit – of the blind and low vision talent pool to businesses large and small.?

Specifically, NSITE has created a basic training program that helps businesses understand what is required to truly integrate blind or low vision employees into their own corporate culture. Learn More...
