You’re in the right place if you are an innovative performance-enhancing company…
Committed to your disability employment program…

Like your other gender, race, and sexual orientation D&I programs…
You considered comprehensive disability sensitivity and inclusion training.
But after starting to recruit people with disabilities…
And hiring your first employee with a disability…
The problems started popping up.
In the training process, you didn’t have alternative formats or accessible materials.

Managing the onboarding process is overwhelming when you’re also juggling normal responsibilities.
Why are simple things like clocking in, the intranet, and registering for benefits so time-intensive?

Digital inaccessibility is already preventing your employee from performing necessary job functions.

And this doesn’t even consider time you spent managing accommodations, working with venders, uncertainty about compliance, and researching the EEOC.

This only scratches the surface of developing and successfully implementing a comprehensive disability D&I strategy.

• Are you sourcing or recruiting the wrong candidates?
• Why do new hires struggle with training and onboarding?
• How will you manage accommodations long-term?
• Do your work environments achieve ADA compliance?
• Are you assessing employee performance accurately?
• How will you implement performance improvement plans?

If you’re uncertain about the answers to these questions…
Or whether you have the experience and expertise to develop a successful disability inclusion strategy…
We can help.

For starters…

• Disability and impairment severity changes over time or day to day.
• There are over 20 different types of invisible and visible disabilities
• Reasonable accommodations are not static

• Strategy is often limited to recruiting and hiring goals
• Does not account for non-HR departmental influences
• Lacks strategic controls to Measure success and make corrections

• Difficulty leading organizational and culture change
• Lacks executive sponsorship and overall awareness
• Insufficient management of strategic controls

A successful disability inclusion strategy and disability employment program requires you to go beyond traditional tactics of race, gender, or sexual orientation DEI strategy and employment-recruiting, hiring, and career advancement with executive, cultural, and sensitivity trainings.

Candidly, these tactics cannot ensure work environments meet ADA compliance, remove ability bias from supervisors or organizational culture, nor establish inclusive policies and processes designed to achieve your company’s disability inclusion goals.

To truly drive disability diversity and inclusion…
And create an ability inclusive culture…
You must go beyond the ADA and federal compliance.

Successfully expanding inclusion to your employees with disabilities requires a universally inclusive mindset, attitudinal shift, and a comprehensive strategy addressing each facet of how your business operates.

So how do we get there?
To determine the right disability inclusion strategy for your business, we start with our Organizational AccessAbility Review (OAR).

The OAR uncovers gaps and challenges that will need to be addressed, identifies your strengths and opportunities, and provides data-driven leverage needed to develop a successful disability inclusion strategy.

Equipped with this data-driven insight, we then work with your executive leadership team to develop your company’s disability D&I strategy.

While disability readiness and a culturally inclusive mindset are mutually desired outcomes, we also ensure the disability inclusion strategy accomplishes six key business objectives:

• 1. Maintains focus and alignment with your company’s long-term goals
• 2. Exemplifies your company’s values and mission
• 3. Includes cogent action plan for reaching short-term objectives
• 4. Advance departmental interoperability
• 5. Executive sponsorship and organizational awareness
• 6. Strategic controls measuring performance and informing business decision process

Goals are where you’re going.
Strategy is how you get there.
Tactics make it happen.
The AccessAbility Blueprint brings it all together.

In the past, implementing a comprehensive disability D&I strategy required years of experience and expertise across ADA compliance, change management, accountability management, strategic controls, executive sponsorship, and more.

Today, the AccessAbility Blueprint solves that problem. You already have a capable team. You just need some guidance to make it happen!

Step-by-step, you will have a proven action plan with prioritized tactics, policies, and processes with the information, guidance, and resources responsible for embedding disability inclusion across your business, culture, and people.
