Are you a firm that believes in accessibility and looking for ways on how to make your environments accessible? Here are some simple to do lists. To know more contact us, and we would be happy to help you!
Basic Checklist
1. Have at least 1 Accessible bathrooms per floor– Can be usable by wheel chair users, easy to access for visually disabled
2. Have a labelled accessible path for physically disabled users to get into the building. You can know it simply by using a wheel chair to move from your work place to parking lot. Make sure you use all lift buttons, doors etc. yourself to understand better
3. Get at least 1 enthusiastic HR to learn sign language. India has 6.3% of its population suffering from significant hearing loss. Time we listen to them and talk to them too.
4. For every outsourced work – request for at least one personnel with disability. Be it cooking, cleaning, security anything. Make sure they know. Help the world become accessible.
5. Does your HR team know you are open to being inclusive? Though never mentioned, there is a natural stigma in people against disabilities which proves to be a hidden bias against disabilities. Make sure they know you are open to being inclusive, and encourage them to communicate the same in their JD’s. It’s a small change, but can bring a major impact.
These are simple and easy steps for you to make a start. To know more, write to us @info@accessdeeds.com. We would be happy to help.
