  • What does accessible mean in business?

    Accessibility refers to the ease with which company's facilities, products, services, functions or people are available to as many employees as possible. A high extent of accessibility is desired in today's corporate world as it ensures free flow of information in all directions.

  • Why are accessible meetings important?

    The degree to which your venue is accessible is paramount to the success of your event. A facility that is accessible also minimizes the number of additional arrangements to be made to accommodate participants with disabilities.
  • Give people photos of people who will be at the meeting. Arrange a space where people can go if they need a bit of peace, and tell people before the meeting. Make sure you know what people can and can't eat before the meeting. Give people very clear directions to the meeting.
