Optimize the Customer and Employee Experience
As consumer-facing companies face increased demand from employees, customers, investors and suppliers to create welcoming and inclusive environments, these companies need to augment Deaf and hard of hearing individuals’ experiences as a part of their diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives.
To help our clients instill inclusivity into their organizational fabric, we equip them with the requisite skills, knowledge and resources to advance accessibility and inclusion across all elements of their business and talent ecosystems.
We Work with a Variety of Consumer-Facing Companies
