TrainingBriefs® Why Accessibility Matters

Accessibility is the practice of creating an environment where all employees, regardless of their physical, cognitive, sensory, or other disabilities, can fully participate, perform their job responsibilities, and access opportunities on an equal footing with others. Accessibility aims to eliminate barriers that may prevent individuals with disabilities from being productive or fully integrated members of a workplace.

Accessibility in the workplace is not just a legal obligation but a moral and strategic imperative. It empowers individuals, drives innovation, and positions organizations as leaders in inclusion and belonging. An accessible workplace benefits everyone - not just those with disabilities - by creating a more inclusive and productive environment.
