People with disabilities, special educational needs or those facing barriers to entering the workforce, represent a significant portion of the population. Creating an environment that is accommodating to their needs is not only the right thing to do, but it can also have many benefits for your business. Studies have shown that companies that are more inclusive and diverse tend to be more innovative and profitable.
