What is access and inclusion consulting?
Access and inclusion consulting is a process where our team of experts, who have lived experience of disability, provides your organisation with expert advice, guidance, and support on disability inclusion.
These include developing more inclusive workplaces, improve accessibility in your facilities and/or services, and advice on disability-related policies and programs.
We will work together to create a custom solution for your business depending on your inclusion needs. It can be as broad as simply wanting to be more accessible, or more pointed, like ensuring an advert/campaign is accessible and inclusive for people with disability.
Why is it important to work with an inclusion consultant?
The Get Skilled Access team of inclusion consultants have lived experience of disability and bring their knowledge and understanding to the table. An inclusion consultant will assist you and your employees as you work to make your business more diverse and inclusive. From offering advice on access, developing inclusive leadership practices, or creating a welcoming workplace environment for people with disability, our consultants are ready to help.
Get expert-led advice.
It can be overwhelming approaching an issue you don’t have much experience with. You might even think it’s easier to just stick to the ‘old’ ways. If you’ve hit a roadblock, or are unsure about where to start, our expert team can help. Our award-winning business-to-business services and access consulting will make your inclusion journey both targeted and enjoyable.
Quash any perception gap.
There can be a gap between how organisations feel they’re doing, versus how they’re actually doing. And this can directly impact how a person with disability engages with the organisation. A 2020 global Accenture study showed 67% of leadership felt their technology and culture was supportive, but only 41% of employees with disability agreed. And only 20% of those believed that the organisation was actually committed to that support.
