Important Notice to Our LinkedIn Community: Beware of False Solicitations Hello Everyone, We at Accessibility Partners wish to address an important matter that has come to our attention. It has been brought to our notice that an individual, falsely claiming to be associated with our organization, has been actively soliciting people on LinkedIn and other platforms for PDF remediation work. We want to clarify unequivocally that Accessibility Partners does not engage in unsolicited outreach for PDF remediation services or any other services. We take pride in our professional conduct and ethical business practices, and such behavior does not align with our values or operational methods. If you or anyone in your network encounters such solicitation, claiming to represent Accessibility Partners, we urge you to report this person or profile to us immediately. This will help us take appropriate action and also protect the integrity of our professional community. We are taking steps to address this issue and appreciate your support in maintaining the trust and safety of our online interactions. Thank you for your vigilance and cooperation.

It's almost Friday! 🙌 But before we prepare to log off for the week, let's talk about workplace inclusion. National Disability Employment Awareness Month was last month, and great insights were shared to help raise awareness of workplace inclusion. From updating company policies for accessible accommodations to ensuring workspaces are physically accessible, businesses and organizations were provided with valuable methods to implement in the workplace. And now, we want to hear from you. 💭 Were there any accessible workplace statistics you learned about that caught your attention? 💭 Are there any company policies you'll adapt to enhance workplace accessibility? Feel free to share your thoughts below or tag a friend. We'd love to know how #NDEAM has impacted you and your business. #workplaceinclusion #aoda #ontariobusiness #torontobusiness #accessibilitymatters #accessibleworkplace

Promoting accessibility in the workplace didn't end in October. In our latest blog post, "National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)," we talked about why there's a great emphasis on NDEAM and how it impacts those with disabilities as well as businesses and organizations. Actually, we highlighted five forms of discrimination commonly encountered by those with disabilities–one of them being prejudice during the hiring process or promotions. Read about the other four here: https://lnkd.in/g4rEFwiE #accessibilitymatters #aoda #workplaceinclusion #inclusivitymatters #ontariobusiness

Although October has come to an end, NDEAM has taught us many ways to enhance accessibility in the workplace to create an inclusive environment. But don't let the end of October stop you from promoting accessibility—we're still just in the beginning. #nationaldisabilityemploymentawarenessmonth #ndeam2023 #accessibility #aoda #ontariobusiness #torontobusiness #workplaceinclusion
