If your organization is genuinely committed to creating a workplace culture that is accessible and inclusive, then you should create a disability inclusion plan, a document that lays out your vision and concrete goals for transforming your company. Without effective documentation and communication, present passion for greater accessibility and inclusion has an increased chance of fading away or being deprioritized, with employees likely falling back into long-standing workplace norms and habits that overlook the barriers people with disabilities routinely encounter in the workplace and broader society. When forging a disability inclusion plan, you'll want to take the following steps. -Evaluate how you're doing currently -Seek out feedback from all directions -Develop a vision, mission, and goals -Put your plan into action -Monitor and evaluate your progress -Review and update your disability inclusion plan regularly #a11y #Accessibility #Disability #DigitalInclusion Image Description: An illustration of a diverse group of people with different types of disabilities.
