DEAF AWARENESS WEEK: MAKING THE WORKPLACE MORE ACCESSIBLE

The 1^st to 7^th May is Deaf Awareness Week, a campaign that promotes awareness of the challenges faced by the D/deaf community in accessing communication and the barriers that exist in society.

During this blog, we’ll explore the barriers and struggles that exist for D/deaf community in the workplace. However, before we get into the finer details, it’s worth ensuring that employers and colleagues understand the correct terms to ensure language is inclusive and non-discriminatory.

In this blog, we take a look at: being deaf aware, barriers in the workplace, creating an inclusive environment, and making employee benefits accessible with Sodexo Engage.
