Creating an Accessible Workplace

In Michael Bach’s book, Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right, he explains, “Accessibility is often forgotten when speaking about diversity and inclusion, but it is the missing link. You can have the most diverse workforce and the most inclusive workplace, but if anyone experiences barriers to access—be they physical, institutional, societal, or the like—then you haven’t ensured inclusion for all.” In this episode of Team Building Saves the World, Rich speaks with Naomi Panarella about workplace accessibility. As a member of the blind community, Naomi tells us about her experiences navigating the workplace and what companies can do to create a more inclusive and accessible environment for all.
