October is DEAM! Learn how disability awareness, inclusion, and universal design can give your business a competitive edge.

October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) — a time to recognize the importance of inclusion and explore how disability, inclusion, and universal design can strengthen your business. 

This webinar will demystify disability, highlight the competitive advantages of inclusion, and introduce best practices you can start using right away. It’s also an opportunity to align your workplace efforts with DEAM and demonstrate a genuine commitment to accessibility. 

📚 Key Learning Points:

  • Disability awareness and what it means in practice 
  • What inclusion looks like and how workplaces can create it 
  • Why inclusion is good for business 
  • Easy best practices you can implement today 
  • Next steps to maintain DEAM momentum 

Join us to build a more inclusive workplace and discover how inclusion can fuel both social impact and business success.
